"Design is ______________." Poster Competition - AIGA Detroit wants your submission!

What is design? A universal language? A problem solving tool? Your obsession? This is your opportunity to show the Detroit design community what design means to you. All you have to do is design a poster that fills in the blank: Design is ______________. Posters juried into the exhibition will be displayed at the opening reception of the Detroit Design Festival in the lobby of the Fisher Building on September 19th. Submission requirements can be found below.

Detroit Design Festival (?DDF?) will take place Wednesday, September 19th - Sunday, September 23rd. Presented by the Detroit Creative Corridor Center (?DC3?), DDF is a community curated and supported design festival developed to showcase the talents and abilities of Detroit's creative communities. The DC3 established DDF to connect creatives with one another, expose them to new markets and consumers, and expose Detroit's creative talent and collective design aesthetic to national and global audiences.
