Design Ignites Change

Happy first official day of spring. Now that you're slowly emerging from winter hibernation—or smugly bragging that you live in a warm climate—we dug into the still semi-frozen tundra of the web for stuff to keep you current. This month Adobe Youth Voices and Worldstudio launch a feel-good project called Design Ignites Change, which encourages high school and college students to make the world a better place by designing public projects. Want to help? They're looking for creative professionals to mentor underserved high school students. Or you can just browse this cheery site for inspiring projects—from planting gardens to repurposing museum banners.
