RESIST
Type has always been in the forefront of resistance, from posters in protests, flyers for recruitment, and even subversive advertising.
Type is political.
Protest posters. Recruitment Flyers. Internet Memes. Subversive Ads. Hashtags.
But Type is also...
Emotional. Eye Catching. Loud. Powerful. Image. Memorable.
And Type is Not Just...
Two-Dimensional
This year designers will resist the temptation of everyday conventions of words on a page and pixels on a screen. They will resist the pressure to conform to monolithic societal views, expectations and restrictions on both internal and external fronts. And they will resist the impulse to become anything other than who they are.
Type is Resistance
What are you resisting?
Accepting print, digital (video and static), 3D builds or sculpture (disclose material, wood, metal, paper, baked good, etc.)
The theme is "Resist" designers can potray any aspect from world views to personal temptations to labels.
