Print Dick & Rick: A Visual Primer for Social Impact Design

More and more people are practicing some form of community-engaged design, or social impact design, or human-centered design. Whatever you call, are there right and wrong ways to do it?

The Equity Collective, a group of practitioners in the field, worked with CUP and illustrator Ping Zhu to create a tongue-in-cheek storybook that shines a light on how good community-engaged design practices can not only create good projects, but also advance social justice, and how poor practices are hurting not only the field, but the communities it claims to serve.
