Social Oriented Design (S.O.D) is an exploration of how design skills can go beyond commercial goals to create a social impact on the public. Approached with inspiration from critical design theory, and implement a multi-national collaboration group consisting of students and designers, the group investigates socially related problems and taboos through a plethora of creative expressions.
S.O.D. was funded in August 2013 in Oslo. Today the group has partners in France, Russia, USA, Finland, South Korea, Belgium and England.

(workshops_3_)
Our goal is to open up the creative process to a different mindset, to foster ideas and to strengthen the group dynamic by building up the teams. To rethink formats and technics and to question our choices and our working habits to inform and communicate societal issues and taboos.
“Our habits kill our creative process. Change the tools and observe the outcome. ”

Graphic Design can easily be seen as the craft to visualise cultural, political and societal changes this mean that Graphic Designers can also influence our perception of specific events. We try to find new solutions to solve, visualise and communicate social related problems.
