ICOGRADA International Conference on Design for Social Impact

Vilnius, Lithuania

 

Informatics Studio was asked to detail our process for visual messaging in critical social programs for ICOGRADA’s annual international conference, Design for Social Impact. Using an environmental narrative, Todd Cavalier, Executive Director, was selected as one of the keynote speakers and presented the firm’s methodology, involving a structured examination of how images and language work together to form meaning and strategically communicate urgency in critical social programs.

We have developed and tested our principled approach through many years of design and development for international strategic communications programs involving social development for clients that include the UN Development Programme, US Department of State, USAID, World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, SNV-World, and others. Domestically, we have designed and developed programs for clients that include the National Institutes of Health, the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, US Department of Education, US Department of Justice, as well as many leading non-profits and socially responsible corporations working on social development.

Pennsylvania Watershed Commission

Watershed Sustainability

 

The Informatics Studio team worked with the State of Pennsylvania Watershed Commission to design an environmental compliance brochure that addresses environmental impact across the state.

The brochures are designed to communicate the essential value of protecting and promoting woodland watersheds as core components of environmental sustainability. The program had an international audience that required our design and development of series of animated web banners highlighting the interdependency of global environmental systems.
