Cross-cultural Design

AIGA XCD is where design and culture intersect, both globally and locally. This archive of articles looks at the ways we communicate across cultures, as well as the interwoven experience of design and culture in our lives. Technology, mass media and a global economy have made the world smaller, creating a need to better understand the issues of cross-cultural communications.
