World Day of Design

icogradaHeld annually on April 27, the World Day of Design, or World Graphics Day, marks the date in 1963 when Icograda, The International Council of Graphic Design Associations, was founded. Icograda is the world body for professional graphic design and visual communication. AIGA became a member of Icograda in 2005.
In recognition of World Graphics Day in Italy, the AIAP, the Associazione Italiana Progettazione Per La Comunicazione Visiva, has created an online design exhibit. There are some interesting works posted there. The focus for the designs are Children (Bambini).
Some time ago Antonio Faeti wrote that childhood is an ossymore:

it is time of happiness and at the same time time of hangst, time to play and at the same time to fear. Children in the age of happiness, careless, beloved and respected, and children refused too.
Children in the North of the World and children in the South of the World. Children soldiers, children in the bombed homes, children as "collateral effect". Childhood cheeried and childhood denegated. Childhood raped. Children.
