Good Design Discovery Initiative's Multi-Category Strategy
Within the scope of the A' Design Award's Good Design Discovery Initiative, there are discovery images focusing on multiple categories (all A' Design Award categories) as well as specific super-categories (categorized under product design, industrial design, communication, fashion, strategy, architecture etc) as well as very specific award-categories. By featuring projects from all design fields, industrial, interior, communication, fashion, architecture, and more, the A’ Design Award fosters cross-category synergy within the Good Design Discovery Initiative, and by featuring works from a single category, based on the Good Design Discovery visual, the A' Design Award provides adaptable images. This synergy not only broadens the audience for each featured A' Design Award winner but also allows viewers to appreciate the interconnectedness of design disciplines. On one hand, the multi-Category strategy has tangible benefits for designers’ bottom lines by introducing their work to potential clients or partners who might have initially visited to see a different design category and discovered something unexpectedly relevant, and on the other hand the super-category and single category featuers enriches content of websites, magazines and publications focused on a particular niche.

Privacy and Security Note
A' Design Award takes a uniquely ethical approach to content distribution: our embedding system uses simple image tags without any JavaScript injection, ensuring complete safety and security for your website and visitors. Unlike common industry practices that often prioritize user tracking and data collection, we've deliberately chosen to respect your privacy and that of your audience - we don't track users, we don't collect data, and we don't inject any monitoring code into your pages. The system simply delivers high-quality design content through standard image tags, making it completely safe to implement. While we do maintain a reasonable limit of 8 images per page to ensure fair resource distribution (which we can technically monitor), our focus remains solely on sharing exceptional design rather than gathering user data. This commitment to ethical content distribution sets A' Design Award apart in an industry increasingly focused on tracking and monitoring - we believe good design should be shared freely and safely, without compromising user privacy or website security. You can confidently embed these images knowing they're just that: images celebrating exceptional design, nothing more, nothing less.
