The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC) is Canada's national professional graphic design society. The GDC is a member-based organization of design professionals, educators, administrators, students, and associates in communications, marketing, media and design-related fields. GDC was Canada’s first distinct group to professionalize graphic design as a distinct field. ==History== The GDC was founded in 1956 as the Society of Typographic Designers of Canada,〔 with a statement mission “to build up a professional status by accepting professional responsibilities”, “to encourage printers, publishers and others to help them in their efforts towards higher standards in printed communications“, and “to increase public awareness of the benefits which we all derive from good design and craftsmanship”. In 1968 it changed its name to the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada〔〔 and created the MGDC (Professional Member) certification.〔 By the early 1970s, several other design associations had been founded and the GDC was no longer truly national. In 1974, with the help of Design Canada, GDC in Ontario called a meeting in Ottawa to meet with the other associations to discuss establishing a single national presence, and the Council of Regional Representatives was formed.〔 It joined Icograda in the same year,〔 then in 1976 it was incorporated by federal charter.〔〔〔 In September 2010 the GDC adopted membership changes to replace the then-current MGDC and LGDC (Licentiate Member〔) certifications〔 with a new CGD (Certified Graphic Designer) certification in order to reduce confusion over the meaning of the MGDC designation.〔 The CGD certification mark was registered in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society of Graphic Designers of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
