28 January 2010 DESIGN FOR EVERYONE EXPRESSION OF INTEREST OPEN The Victorian Government’s State of Design Festival is a key element of the Design Victoria Strategy developed to increase the awareness of the value of design and showcase how design generates innovation, promotes sustainability and adds value to business and society. For 2010, Design for Everyone, the Festival’s public program, will explore and communicate the importance of design to a broad public audience. Participation in Design for Everyone is an opportunity for individuals, organisations and businesses to demonstrate how design is improving living conditions, creating sustainable development opportunities, increasing commercial advantages and generating new and innovative products and services. The 2010 State of Design Festival theme of ‘Change by Design’ promotes the value of design as a practical tool for the creation of sustainable communities and competitive industries. The theme is communicated via the Design for Everyone program to a broad business, design industry and general public audience.
