Using a list of Kan and Lau Design Consultants’ client cases covering corporate identity, city image, brand identity and packaging and social welfare promotion as instances, Kan divides his talk into 6 topics: Design for People, Design for Citizen, Design for Women, Design for Youngster, Design for Children and Design for Animal. Kan elaborates the effects of visual communication through these case studies, and explores possible ways a designer could do for the people, for the earth and for all other beings in the world. Design with Care, Design with Love!
