Welcome to another season of Design&, a podcast made by the students in the Design Criticism course at the School of Design. Each year we approach this project a little differently. This year instead of starting with a question, we are starting with people, their stories, and why you should know them. People like Corita Kent, Thomas Miller, Wim Crowell, and Muriel Cooper just to name a few. This is by no means a comprehensive list or a ranking of designers. It is simply an exploration of those that moved the field forward and have changed the perspective of what graphic design is and what it can be. Enjoy.

In this episode we discussed the negatives and positives of graphic designers on and creating social media platforms. But instead of arguing over the question of are graphic designers responsible for the negative effects of social media, we need to be answering the question of why we are designing. It is graphic designers responsibility to design for others in a healthy and beneficial way to raise awareness.
