While it sounds cliche, being kind and showing respect for others is just one step anyone can take in integrating social good into their routine. As far as the personal design process, being aware of others’ sensitivities and coming to terms with the fact that you cannot (by yourself) speak for everyone, can help make you work towards supporting the environmental/social good. Through the products we shop for and the companies we support, as well as the messages we send through the stances we take, designers (as well as anyone) can take do their part to support particular causes. Which of these directions most interests you? What do you feel your level of responsibility is here? Is there an example of environmental or social design that you find inspiring?

While the relationship between how braille is read and the fact that it was on jerseys not intended to be felt by others did face criticism by the general public, I commend the Orioles organization for using their platform as a professional sports team to help spread this message. While this isn’t a solution to a direct problem faced by those that are blind, it was effective in spreading awareness of the disability. The Baltimore Orioles became the first professional sports team to don their uniforms with braille lettering.
