J.C.Disi 2013/14 Biennial Institutional Biennial

J.C.Disi 2013/14 Biennial Institutional Biennial is a significant archival publication documenting the transformative social innovation initiatives undertaken during 2013 and 2014, designed by Leo P. H. Chan and Michelle Leung. This comprehensive documentation, measuring 250mm by 295mm by 18mm, serves as both an archive and reflection of pioneering social design projects aimed at addressing complex societal challenges through creative approaches and humanistic design principles. The publication, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, showcases three interconnected approaches: the implementation of design projects with various sector partners to drive social change, the development of capacity-building programs for future social innovators in Asia, and the establishment of diverse platforms for global knowledge exchange. The design demonstrates exceptional visual communication skills in presenting complex social initiatives, utilizing strategic approaches and innovative graphic solutions to effectively convey the impact of social design projects. The biennial publication stands as a testament to the growing importance of design-driven social innovation, particularly in addressing interconnected contemporary challenges that require non-linear, creative solutions. Through its thoughtful documentation and presentation, the work exemplifies how design can serve as a catalyst for social transformation while maintaining high standards of visual communication and editorial design.
