RADness is short for Random Acts of Designess. The definition of a Random Act of Designess is where you surf the web, find a good cause that needs some help with it’s identity, or promotional material (or anything else design related). Some appropriate design work that you believe will benefit the cause is done and together with an explanation, it is send to them. Completely unsolicited way of helping a good cause just because you felt like it.
Hey, at the weekend I designed a funky new poster for that environmental group I came across on the web. I just really felt their cause was great but their promotional material wasn't. That's my first ever random act of designess (RADness), I wonder who I'll pick to do my next one for?!

rad- short for radical, which meant cool, a term that is still used today by a populace of individuals that never really grew out of the 80's scene and still believe that other terms are cool such as "hey dude" or worse "dudette" and even "totally." Beware of these individuals for they are probably still sporting a Madonna or Micheal Jackson glove on one hand with the fingers cut out of it, watching movies such as Pretty in Pink or The Breakfast Club, and own a very colorful collection of wrist or ankle warmers.
