RGD’s annual Student Awards program brings industry professionals together with emerging designers to promote excellence and encourage the next generation to reach the highest levels of creativity, innovation and conceptualiza-tion. To date, RGD has distributed over $233,000 in cash awards to graphic design students who display excellence in their work. With more than 1,400 student members, RGD recognizes that students are the future of the Association and Canada’s graphic design industry.
About RGDRGD was created by an Act of the Ontario Legislature to certify graphic designers who have met a rigorous set of standards that includes documented levels of relevant professional education and experience, as well as demon-strated competence in the areas of business, design principles, research, theory and ethics. RGD’s vision is for a graphic design profession that is broadly valued for its contribution to life, commerce and society. Other RGD programs include: professional and career development events and webcasts; the annual DesignThinkers and HeadStart conferences; a bi-annual survey of salaries and billing practices in the Canadian creative industry; the international Social Good Design Awards, and more.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD POSTERThis poster is based on a quote taken from the book: “He looked at the squares of sky delimited by the slender lines of girders and columns, the empty cubes of space he had torn out of the sky.” The destructive environment, physical and emotional, that each character has fallen into is a theme from the book that is often overlooked.
