Can Graphic Design Save Your Life?
- worked with 3D design Sitoski
- very graphics led exhibtion, used icons and colour for navigation
- neutral markers of rede cross - graphic design allows them to be identified
- branding so powerful - unbranded cigarette
- Geigy - 50s/60s - played into the way modernist designers worked at the time
- exhibition in design museum
- hope - not, looking at last 10 years of political graphic design
- Obama hope - to what it is now, Trump nope
- The financial crash of 2008
- Had to capture turbulent time
- Struggled with how exhibition should be designed
- wanted to include work of amateurs who risk their lives
Design is always Political - how to fight facism - Mike Monteiro
Iver Williams - end of life care
I found this talk very interesting as it presented other options for a graphic designer such as exhibition design. I found it interesting to hear about how the concepts for each book transferred into the exhibition and events that where put on to launch them. This is an area of design I would like to explore more after university. Furthermore it was interesting to hear about how her strong political beliefs and interest inform her work such as Design&Reglion which was born out of Lucienne's fascination with the nuns habit as a child.
