Professional Code of ConductThe International Council of Design is pleased to announce the release of our Professional Code of Conduct for designers, presented as an international standard and reference. This Code is an aspirational document, intended to serve as a touchstone for professional associations crafting their own Codes, and to support educational institutions developing curricula. It is a tool for any designer who seeks to adhere to international standards. |

ResourcesIn 2015, Communication Design, Interdisciplinary and Graphic Design Research became the new face of the International Council of Design’s online peer-reviewed journal, following its predecessors Icographic and Iridescent. Led by Editor-in-chief Teal Triggs and published in partnership with Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), the journal explores new directions of contemporary design practice and research. Continuing this important legacy of design scholarship, the launch issue Volume 3 (Issue 1) with cover design by Neville Brody, features an analysis of the aesthetics of branding 'urban black anti-hero style' for an American sport apparel company in an article by Bobby Campbell, Michele Buchanan’s piece entitled '@facevalue // expanding our typographic repertoire', among other articles by leading authors on design. |

In memoriamIt is with great regret that we learn of the passing of Patrick Wallis Burke on 10 August, 2020. Recipient of the Icograda President's Award and Executive Editor of Icograda/ICoD publication Icographic. Accomplished designer, educator, fiction author and family man, Patrick's student Herb Gillman recalled, “We created Icographic in our spare time at Ravensbourne, evenings and weekends, pasting it up by hand, setting the text with the old IBM golf-ball typewriter; how did he get his ideas, that amazing brain, those connections and articles!”
