IT'S NOT A COMPREHENSIVE national design policy but, as Alan Way points out, the Canadian government's Federal Identity Program creates a clear graphic profile for government activities. This has several significant benefits, including facilitating access to services and programs, improving the effectiveness and reducing the cost of communications, promoting the equality and official status of the French and English languages, and explicitly recognizing the value of design as a management tool.
