Create
Creating your own projects is a good way to educate people and create change. The project you choose depends entirely on you and what you want from it. It is a good way to learn new skills, experiment and push your design limits.
Choose an issue that interests you and concept a way you would like to express, help or promote the issue. This could range from entering online design comps and introducing your issue into your work to creating a whole website or exhibition.
If you are a good designer whose work screams loudly,
isn't it good to have something to say?
