Optimism: to expect the best possible outcome; the belief that good will ultimately triumph.

Through the theme of ‘Optimism’, Icograda Design Week Brisbane 2010 will promote dialogue on issues shaping the nature and relevance of communication design practice today.

Optimism 2010 is presented by Icograda in partnership with the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA) and will recognise the valuable contribution designers make to delivering benefits and results for business, community and culture. It will showcase businesses that embrace the power of good design to gain a competitive edge. Icograda Design Week Brisbane 2010 will provide a platform for conversation regarding design-led thinking and consciousness for a changing world.
