The article reflects on the role of the design community in catalyzing social change. He recalls seeing the billboard designed by Miguel, a Mexican teenager who came to the U.S. through an illegal way, which depicts a boy with a toy gun. The author asserts that aside from the traditional approach to social responsibility such as using recycled materials, designers must venture into social entrepreneurship and create sustainable markets for socially responsible design.
