WHY

When we are talking about "Design for Life" there are probably many things that needs to be questioned, left could very well be right. The objective of DesignBoost 2009 is to make everybody question, reach awareness and think in new paths when it comes to creating better lives for lots of people. This is after all the ultimate goal for all design. A full description of this years theme can be found in our BoostNews.
