The following organizations
and publications offer useful ideas that you can use to grow your design
business.
- American Institute
of Graphic Arts: The purpose of the AIGA is to further
excellence in communication design as a broadly defined discipline,

design professionals turn to first to exchange ideas and information,
participate in critical analysis and research and advance education
and ethical practice.

elevating the standards of professional business practice for design
consulting firms. APDF does so by open exchange of information, creation

organizes, and makes accessible a body of knowledge; educates managers
and policy makers; sponsors, promotes, and conducts research; and advocates
for the economic and cultural importance of design.
- Industrial Designers
Society of America: IDSA is the professional service of
creating and developing concepts and specifications that optimize the
function, value and appearance of products and systems for the mutual
benefit of both user and manufacturer. Industrial designers develop
these concepts and specifications through collection, analysis and synthesis
of data guided by the special requirements of the client or manufacturer.
They are trained to prepare clear and concise recommendations through
drawings, models and verbal descriptions.
- Society for Environmental Graphic Design: An international, design organization to promote public awareness and professional development of the field of environmental graphic design.
