Design Ignites Change - Projects - "Create! Don't Hate." Salt Lake City

The Design program in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Utah partnered with West High School and the Sorenson Unity Center Computer Clubhouse in Salt Lake City to engage in the "Create! Don't Hate." project. AIGA SLC partnered with the University of Utah to launch this project. Under the coordination of Carol Sogard, design professor, as part of course curriculum for senior design majors, thirteen students mentored 7 high school students to create billboards that addressed the theme of tolerance.

Along with empowering youth, the goals of the program are to publicly exhibit as many tolerance billboards as possible and to demonstrate the power of design to ignite change.

In conjunction with the board of director members from AIGA SLC and Design Ignites Change two billboards were selected to be exhibited on Clear Channel billboards in Salt Lake City; "This is tolerance to us" and "Don't Miss an opportunity".
