Design Canada is a feature-length documentary (74 minutes, 2018) by Greg Durrell and produced by Jessica Edwards.

It explores how Canadian graphic design in the 1960s–70s helped shape a post-colonial national identity through iconic visuals like flags, logos, and public design.

The film features insights from influential designers—including Burton Kramer, Rolf Harder, Fritz Gottschalk, Hans Kleefeld, Stuart Ash, and Heather Cooper—with commentary from figures like Massimo Vignelli and Douglas Coupland
