Otherwise known as World Graphics Day, April 27th is the anniversary of the founding of Icograda (International Council of Graphic Design Associations). The holiday serves to recognize professionals in graphic and communication design. Where would we be without graphic design? The world would be a pretty boring place and the advertising industry would be lost.
Other Holidays:
- Administrative Professionals Day/ Secretary’s Day – we all know ‘em and love ‘em. Show them you care today!
- Mantanzas Mule Day – During the Spanish-American War, U.S. naval forces bombarded the village of Mantanzas. It was reported that the only casualty was a single mule. RIP Mantanzas Mule. “We lost alot of good men out there.”
- Morse Code Day – if only Samuel Morse had text messaging during his day…
- National Tell a Story Day – Once upon a time there was a printing company…
