Encouraging diversity in design education, discourse and practice to expand the future strength and relevance of design in all areas of society.
According to the United States Census, we are expected to have a minority-majority population by the year 2043. With these inevitable demographic changes, workplaces will have to reflect this overall shift. However, many industries do not have workforces that reflect this.
In graphic design, about 86% of designers are Caucasian. As recently as 1991, 93% of designers were Caucasian, so there has been very little minority growth in the field in almost a quarter of a century. AIGA, the premier professional association for graphic artists, is looking to tackle this issue with a Diversity and Inclusion Task Force.
Led by graphic designer and illustrator Antoinette Carroll, the Task Force consists of a diverse array of graphic designers, communication professionals, and students throughout the nation from different backgrounds and experiences. (Full disclosure: Revision Path’s founder and EIC Maurice Cherry is also a member of this task force.)

Over 300,000 Detroit residents face water shutoffs due to past due water bills exacerbated by Detroit’s ongoing economic woes. When designer Kristy Tillman and developer Tiffani Bell heard about this, they took action.
The result of their collaboration is the Detroit Water Project, and to date they’ve helped match donors from around the world to Detroit residents in need of help with their water bills.
In this brief interview, Detroit Water Project co-founder Tiffani Bell explains some of the feedback about the project and ways that others can help out.
