Congratulations to Janelle Momotani (IDEA Grad 2022) for gaining 2021 RGD Student Advertising Design Honourable Mention with "Verified Experience".

“Teenagers and young adults who live online miss out on in-person experiences that technology just can’t replicate. Visiting New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (the MET) is one of life’s great experiences. The Verified Experience campaign plays on social media authentication to prompt Gen Z to visit the MET in person where they can enjoy a bigger-than-life experience and truly immerse in the art.” writes Janelle.

About The RGD

Through the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (the RGD), Canadian designers exchange ideas, educate and inspire, set professional standards and build a strong, supportive community dedicated to advocating for the value of design.

Representing over 4,100 design professionals, including firm owners, freelancers, managers, educators and students, the RGD was created in 1996 by an Act of the Ontario Legislature (Bill Pr 56) and is the only graphic design association in North America to have this type of legislation.

The Certified RGD designation is a signal of quality and competence to the profession, public and government. Successful candidates have met a rigorous set of standards that includes documented levels of relevant, professional education and experience as well as competence in the areas of business, design principles, research, accessible design and ethics demonstrated through the successful completion of the RGD’s certification process.

Our vision is for a graphic design profession that is broadly valued for its contribution to life, commerce and society.
