The People’s Design Award notes viewer-vetted ideas that cover every aspect of human creativity; PSFK features one of their favorites, Everything is OK. We wrote about Everything is OK back in August; it has since been nominated for the 2008 People’s Design Award. Everything is OK is an initiative launched by Mine Design Studio meant to incite positivity. Their Activist Kits are comprised of yellow caution tape emblazoned with the words “Everything is OK.” The gallery features user-submitted photos of this caution tape in action. National Design Week takes place between October 19 and October 25; admission to the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum will be complimentary during this time, so there’s a chance that you can see the Everything is OK Activist Kits in action.  They describe their project as “a kind of social design experiment in subversive positivism. It explores the relationship between medium and message, challenges accepted modes of communication, and provides everyday citizens with tools for social commentary.
