What is RGD Ontario?
The Association of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario (RGD Ontario) represents more than 3,000 graphic designers, managers, educators and students across Ontario.
RGD Ontario was created by an Act (Bill Pr56) of the Ontario Legislature in 1996 to grant graphic designers who qualify the right to use the designation Registered Graphic Designer (R.G.D.). RGD Ontario is the only graphic design association in North America to have this kind of legislation.
The Association's mandate is to serve the best interests of both the graphic design industry and the public in the Province of Ontario:
- Establish, promote and regulate standards of knowledge, skill and ethics for graphic designers in Ontario.
- Provide a unified voice for graphic design practitioners, managers and educators.
- Advise members of developments in laws and practices related to graphic design.
- Promote and advance liaison with organizations engaged in similar fields of endeavour.
- Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information relevant to graphic design.
- Provide members with professional development and continuing education.
- Educate the public on the importance and benefits of graphic design in business and everyday life to enhance the profile of graphic design and create more business opportunities.
