Graphic Arts and Design

"AIGA Design Archives is one of the richest online resources available to those who practice, study, and appreciate great design. Dating back to 1924, it includes more than 20,000 selections from AIGA's national juried design competitions and documents the shifting aesthetics and sensibilities of the designers of the day and features: packaging, corporate communications, brand and identity systems, typography, editorial design and illustration, and experience design."

"Fonts In Use is a public archive of typography indexed by typeface, format, industry, and period. Supported by examples contributed by the public, we document and examine graphic design with the goal of improving typographic literacy and appreciation. Designers use our site for project research, type selection and pairing, and discovering new ways to choose and use fonts."

"The Graphic Artists Guild’s primary purpose is to help our members compete effectively in an ever-changing field. We enable graphic artists and other design professionals to build and maintain successful careers by providing skills and support—from advice on the daily tasks of running a creative business to going to bat for our creative community with business and government leaders."

"We are a Council of independent Member organisations—a global network that shares common issues, commitments and standards. Members create a unified voice for the global design community and drive a high level dialogue on the leading role design plays in society, culture and the economy. ICoD is the world’s largest representative of professional designer entities."

"Letterform Archive is a nonprofit center for inspiration, education, publishing, and community. In addition to hosting visits and public events, the Archive serves a global community through social media, state-of-the-art photography, and publications. We offer courses and workshops in type design, calligraphy, and typography. We also curate exhibitions of our holdings, organize lectures by visiting artists and designers, and host salons and receptions to showcase collections or celebrate out-of-town guests."

"AIGA advocates for a greater understanding of the value of design and designers in government, business, and media. We inspire designers and the public by sharing the most exciting design work and engaging in thoughtful, provocative discussion on pressing issues. We aim to enhance professional development through enriching learning opportunities at all levels."
