What is Social Design

My view of social design is when you design to help social issues or to make society aware of certain issues that are affecting the lives of people in the world.  Also it is a way of networking with others to come up with designs.    Social design may include creating something that will have a impact on a certain social issue.
  A very interesting website I found was Inventor of the Week, a cool website about the latest inventors and how they are impacting social issues and how they are designing them.  A great social designer for our time!!!!!!!! is Deborah Adler with her great design with Target for medicine bottles and how these affected her grandmother.

The Creators Project (interesting event on designing)

The Social Network (movie about the creator of Facebook)  This movie is coming out soon and looks very interesting because it shows how the creator of Facebook came to fame.
P.S the aliens did not invent velcro this guy did George de Mestral
This guy is a must see for social design right now.  He is the ultimate guerilla artist for social change in America right now.  I just saw a documentary on him on television through the Ovation channel and it is called Popaganda.  He has a website where you can see his work. www.popaganda.com   This guy has inspired me for my next social project.
