The group has more than 1,600 members and they come from a variety of different fields. The interdisciplinary network is one of the main advantages of membership.There are several membership categories, but the "design professional" heading is geared for those in visual communications. The cost to join for one year is $305 for residents of the United States, plus an application fee of $40. The organization publishes The International Journal of Environmental Graphic Design, and they keep an archive of publications related to the field as well.
