Taste: My Low-key Manifesto About Race and Class in the Design World

by aigadetroit \ February 5, 2021

Musing on design, other things, and how bad design is good sometimes. In this manifesto, Justine Allenette Ross documents her influences and perspective as a female Black Illustrator in Detroit. Commenting on race, class, and being a designer in a system where good design is often synonymous with “European” or “white” aesthetics. Justine talks through the things that make her herself, and how all of those things are intersectional. You can’t separate who you are from how you make.

Black Lives Matter

by AIGA Detroit Programming \ June 1, 2020

We represent a region of thriving Black creatives, Black culture and Black lives. For us that means now, more than ever, Black Lives Matter. It is not enough for us to not be racist, we have to be explicitly and actively anti-racist. That means working to dismantle systems of oppression and seeking justice for those wronged by these systems.

"So far, the most memorable moment of my career is probably getting all these emails from people all over the country (some overseas) about how great my Detroit Rise Flag project is. I’m fortunate to have gotten the coverage I have for the flag, and I credit those publishers as the catalysts for this feedback.""

From clients and coworkers to family members and friends, there has been no shortage of people in my life that think design is a hobby. Some, might dare I say, think design is an activity any person can achieve by merely choosing Papyrus in their Microsoft Word document.
