The LGDA is a non-profit organization of individuals representing all facets of design including graphic designers, web and motion designers, photographers, copy-writers, art directors and fine artists in all types of media from print to broadcast to digital. Established in 1988 by a handful of designers, the group is a standalone association unaffiliated with any national organization, although it interacts with other cities' design groups. The LGDA exists to enhance the quality of graphic design in its home community of Louisville, Kentucky. On a larger scale, the group strives to educated the general public and the business community about the pervasive role that design plays in our everyday lives.
