Albert Ng, a Canadian widely regarded as the father of graphic design accreditation in North America, was one of 27 recipients recently invested in the Order of Ontario by the Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
The Order of Ontario, the province's highest and most prestigious honour, is awarded to Ontarians for outstanding achievement and excellence in any field.
The men and women invested in The Order are representative of the best of Ontario's caring and diverse society and stand as shining examples for us all.
Their lives have benefited society in Ontario and elsewhere.
Albert Ng is indeed such a remarkable and outstanding individual.
For more than two decades he devoted himself to raising the standards and the profile of Canada's graphic design profession.
What has transpired from his profound commitment to this design discipline, together with his astute leadership and unwavering vision, is a lasting gift of innovative collaboration and outstanding achievement.
Albert's aspirations for the profession came to fruition only after many years of dedicated work.
He saw what the profession lacked and set out to remedy the situation, even when told the challenges would be impossible to overcome.
Undeterred, he persisted in his pursuit of professional recognition and convinced other designers to lend their support to his accreditation plan.

Gravity Free is a truly unique multidisciplinary design conference.
Each year Gravity Free picks a theme and selects 22 of the most passionate designers, design thinkers and innovators on the planet from 20 different design disciplines to help us explore the theme.
The result: an experience like none other -- a remarkable cross-fertilization of ideas and inspiration that only happens when such a remarkable variety of design influences interact.
This year's conference theme, "The Year of Dangerous Minds", celebrates creative risk-taking.
It explores the boldness of larger-than-life revolutionaries who redraw the boundaries with their own personal line in the sand and whose shock waves often reverberate well beyond their own disciplines.

"When I wake up, when I check the time, when I brush my teeth, when I get dressed, when I have breakfast, when I cross the street, when I call to say I'll be late again, when I work, when I have a break, when I get back home, when I relax and when I go to sleep I am surrounded by graphics and illustrations."
Plenty Of Design takes a comprehensive look at how these graphics have entered our daily lives, and adorn everything from alarm clocks to skateboards.
Not only do these graphics apply beauty, life and personality to our objects, but they also create a relationship with us, when they become part of the "visual soundtrack" to our lives.
Would you like your work to be published in Emil Kozak's next book, Plenty of Design?
Deadline for submiting entries 5 May 2008.
