School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents "Pitch," an exhibition of socially- and globally-minded products created by 18 students graduating from the MFA Design Department at SVA.
These products have been realized through graphic, web, industrial, and motion design to be both commercially viable and culturally significant.
The exhibition is curated by Dorothy Twining Globus, a faculty member at SVA and curator of exhibitions at the Museum of Arts & Design.
The featured designers move beyond the traditional role of graphic designer in developing their original concepts to include market research, brand strategies, and business plans.
With such a comprehensive scheme for their products, these entrepreneurial designers explore how their ideas will positively influence society.

Award-winning strategic design firm MetaDesign has collaborated with SanDisk Corporation, the inventor and the world's largest supplier of Flash storage cards to create a new brand identity for the company.
The new look of SanDisk reinforces its global leadership in supplying and manufacturing Flash memory, and its continuing commitment to developing Flash storage card products.
MetaDesign developed the brand strategy, positioning and identity system for SanDisk.
The new graphic identity is a dynamic expression of SanDisk, whose Flash memory products have helped to drive the exponential growth in sales of digital cameras, mobile phones, USB flash devices, digital audio/video players, and other digital consumer devices.
The new SanDisk identity aims to shift perceptions of SanDisk from being the world leader in Flash memory, to a genuine consumer electronics company.
The new logotype commands greater presence with increased legibility from packaging to extremely small sizes.
The new logotype was re-drawn, dropping the original sun/flash mark, yet alluding to its heritage with a parallelogram-shaped dot above the "i" in the logotype.
The result is an identity that reproduces well at microscopic sizes, including silk-screening onto ultra small memory chips, and is more uniform and streamlined.
