How do you define the value of design? An excellent topic of discussion that is sure to be debated for some time to come... Design Currency is the topic for the Icograda Design Week in Vancouver (26-30 April 2010). Watch the promo video (created by the talented folks at Rethink Communications) embedded above, or on Youtube - here.

I will be in attendance at this event, hopefully I will see you there as well! Why should you attend? Well, head over to the Industrial Brand blog and read Matt's post about why he's excited to attend... I couldn't think of a better way to sum it all up.
