The digital social networks present new possibilities of action in the field of graphic design to foment new forms in the citizen participation in civic and social interests through the Organizations of the Civil Society (OSC) in Mexico. The digital space transformed the form of communication into a democratic space that demands synthesized conceptualizations of graphic design in the processes of visual communication, and which, due to the characteristics of digital social networks, allows hyper connectivity, along with media over-information. The information competes with each other for the attention of users, along with the speed and indexation of search engines (which make it easy to reach users). In the case of Facebook, the visual burden prevails, this should provoke the citizen: stop, look, see, read to raise awareness, become aware, to be a participant through interaction, first in online space, with the potential to participate in the off-line space, in order to generate collective actions for change. Under this premise, the research starts from an exploratory qualitative study. For its exploration were chosen::the CSOs focused on the issue of public safety, Facebook as a social digital network, and graphic design that presupposes a transforming a common good. Each of the actors plays a role: CSOs generate content, Facebook is the medium and graphic design concretizes to communicate to the citizen. The thesis presents a diachronic view that begins with a theoretical approach of the CSOs in Mexico, to give way to their historical conformation interlaced with the contribution of graphic design: original material that allows to show its role, identity and cultural value in this space in the country. Also, a theoretical review is presented on the different issues of graphic design in the social field. From the theoretical framework, a synchronous look at the state-of-the-art based on interviews with a selection of civil society organizations (dedicated to the topic of public safety) and compilations of images published in the Facebook profiles of the organizations selected during the period 2015-2016, to carry out a study based on categories of graphic analysis based on the characteristics of the medium and referenced to the theoretical framework to evidence a series of approaches that contribute to new praxisand contexts of social design. It is also questioned whether the image-citizen connection allows creating a series of reactions to promote citizen participation. This research presents an exercise in observation, categorization and analysis in order to establish the potential of the link between graphic design and CSOs in Facebook s virtual space.
