B-Roll
Inclusion played a role in diversifying graphic design. Inclusion refers to “the act or practice of including and accommodating people who have historically been excluded (because of their race, gender, sexuality, or ability).” Diversity is the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.
B-Roll
Diversity in design is important because having a wide variety of perspectives at the table throughout the design process allows us to design more inclusive experiences for a broader audience. “Diversity in design means diversity of experience, perspective, and creativity—otherwise known as diversity of thought—and these can be shaped by multiple factors including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual identity, ability/disability, and location, among others.” It empowers designers to create products whose experiences serve as many people as possible. Diversity and inclusion are two interconnected concepts—but they are far from interchangeable.
Interview: Patricia Childers and Stefan Sagmeister.
Since its inception, design has been lacking diversity. At the beginning of the 19th century, designers wanted to create a different approach to design that stepped away from the Victorian era into a more unique and diverse approach to design. German architect Walter Gropius found the Bauhaus in the city of Weimar. “Its core aim was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts.” The Bauhaus combined elements of both fine arts and design education in a curriculum that studied materials, color theory, and formal relationships to prepare for more specialized studies. Students came from a diverse range of social and educational backgrounds.
Interview: Patricia Childers and Stefan Sagmeister.
As the design progressed from a modern era to a post-modern era, diversity slowly took form in the design community. Designers wanted more inclusiveness in their designs. The evolution toward inclusive design began in the 1950s with new attention to design for people with disabilities. In Europe, Japan, and the United States, barrier-free designs were developed to remove obstacles in the built environment for people with physical disabilities. Diversity in design started when workplace diversity training first emerged in the mid-1960s following the introduction of equal employment laws and affirmative action. Before this, many companies had known histories of racial discrimination.
Interview: Patricia Childers and Stefan Sagmeister.
Designers wanted to use different styles to help them diversify the design community. Using semiotic language, signs and symbols can represent diversity. Designers can get their message across to a more diverse audience. For example, culture Jamming appropriates contemporary signs to make a statement to a wider audience.… Playing with the branded images and icons of consumer culture to make consumers aware of surrounding problems and diverse cultural experiences that warrant their attention. When designers take a more diverse approach to design that embodies society, they speak to society.
Interview: Patricia Childers and Stefan Sagmeister.
Overall, diversity and inclusion in design can encourage greater understanding between different user groups, contributing to a better experience for everyone. Inclusion with diversity in design is not only about making sure that designers of color have equal opportunities to succeed professionally. It’s also about driving greater innovation and creativity within our field by sourcing a wider range of talent. In short, a more diverse industry is significant for all of us because it brings new ideas and reduces homogeneity in design.
Interview: Patricia Childers and Stefan Sagmeister.
So, in conclusion, inclusion is necessary for diversifying the design community. It has fostered change, promoted cultural diversity, and changed our mindset of how we look and see things. Inclusion supports a full range of human diversity; it aims to accommodate those diverse experiences. Having diversity and inclusion will improve the balance of opinions and views in any setting. A well-balanced world will accept different opinions and reduce fears of differences. We live in a very diverse society and inclusion is important for us to continue to grow as a society.

Its solution was to focus efforts of design on education and public service tasks that promoted the betterment of society. The designers propose a reversal of priorities in favor of more useful, lasting, and democratic forms of communication – a mind-shift away from product marketing and toward the exploration and production of a new meaning. They feel that their talents and skills should be towards helping society progress as we grow. It is also our responsibility as members of our industry to create positive changes within it. We must work to improve our stances on diversity, inclusion, working conditions, and employees’ mental health. Any party should deem failing to address these issues acceptable. We have a responsibility to bring awareness of the product and social issues that are affecting society.
They are rejecting prizes venture capital, profit, and scale over usefulness and resonance, demand a debilitating work-life imbalance of its workers; lack critical diversity in gender, race, and age; claim to solve problems but favor those of a superficial nature; treat consumers’ personal information as objects to be monetized instead of as personal property to be supported and protected, and refuse to address the need to reform policies affecting the jurisdiction and ownership of data. They are rejecting corporate goals for society’s needs.

How do images hold and convey meaning?
Images can hold and convey meaning by the overall aspect of the composition of the design. Images have 3 messages that help to hold and convey their meaning. You have the linguistics message, the coded message, and the non-coded message. Each holds an aspect when conveying the message. First, you see the caption, the copy, or the title, which is the linguistic message. It tells you what the product is about. Second, you have a coded message, which is a symbolic or connotative message. Which tells gives an insight into what the scene represents, what is being signified, and the cultural code based on the colors of the poster. What type of company it is and what nationality? The proximity of the items placed on the poster. The third is the non-coded message, which is the literal or denoted message. When you look at a poster, the items in it are the signifiers and that helps you to understand what is being signified. It gives you a realism that the scene is more natural. There must be a channel of communication within the pattern of light and shade fixed in the image. In a communication process, they used the poster as a medium of persuasion as it controls the emotions of the viewer.
What are they trying to say?
What do you want your readers to get from looking at your images? Your images must convey mood, meaning, and emphasis. They are trying to give the literal meaning of the message. What type of product it is? Is it healthy for consumption? Who makes it?
How do they persuade and influence us?
By interpreting the image when we look at it, we can get a visual meaning of what the message is within the image. The visual message easily grabs people’s attention and effectively affects their emotions. With these benefits in mind, many people use visual images as persuasive tools to influence their viewers.
By the mid-’70s modernism seems to have run its course. The philosophy of rationale, objective, and design didn’t answer the needs of a generation interested in self-expression and intuition. Graphics designers began exploring ideas such as decoration, pop culture, and historical classical forms. The term applied to this is postmodernism. Rejecting the tenets of modernism, form does not follow function, design can be expressive and ignore the function, and we can appropriate elements from anywhere. Typography can be self-referential and have alternative meanings. Postmodernism is an approach that attempts to define how society has progressed to an era beyond modernity. It has developed from a provocative architectural movement in the early 1970s and rapidly influenced all areas of popular culture, including art, film, music, graphics, and fashion. The overthrowing of purity and simplicity in favor of exuberant color, bold patterns, artificial-looking surfaces, historical quotation, parody, and wit, and above all, newfound freedom in the design of modernism existed within postmodernism during the 1970s-1990s. Many modernists considered style to be a mere sideshow to their utopian visions; but for the postmodernists, the style was everything. Open the doors to a wide variety of design movements to follow, rejecting functionalism, embracing personal expressions, mixing media, and appropriating forms from different time periods became components of the postmodern movement and dominated design in the 1980s.
My research paper is about a Reddi-WIP poster that I found that is from 1958. I like the design of the poster. I felt it had all 3 social biases.

Inclusion is a pivotal role in design to help broaden and changed the way we look at diversity in the design community.
Body:
What is diversity in design?
Why inclusion is important in design?
How inclusion can diversify the design community.
Conclusion:
Summary of why inclusion in important in the design community.
I think the main idea behind “the medium is the message” is that the medium through which they carry the content plays a pivotal role in the way we perceived it. We use this with words today, in the way we get our information compared to how we got it in the past. Having an understanding is a way for people to create, interact and come up with new ideas. Artists and designers can do their best to provide their communities with joy, interaction, and empowerment through creativity, but must also be thoughtful of the political, economic, and social systems. Artists and designers must be creative in finding alternative forms of medium to get ideas and message across different platforms. Since every message is important, the content of which it carried the medium is important for the message to reach its audience. In the McLuhan, “The medium is the message” “because it is the medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human connection and action.” As designers, we have a clear understanding and duty to provide our viewers with content that will bring awareness to what’s going on in the community and the world that we live. By using the different media outlet, we are using the medium as a substance through which any material can travel. Thus, we can get our message across the medium.
