The Design of Dissent: Greed, Nationalism, Alternative Facts, and the Resistance

Dissent is an essential part of keeping democratic societies healthy, and our ability as citizens to voice our opinion is not only our privilege but our responsibility. Without this dialogue, the backbone of what we have fought so desperately for could easily crumble. A picture is worth a thousand words and designers have used this adage to their advantage by creating simple yet powerful designs that immediately convey poignant messages to their viewers. The Design of Dissent examines graphic work focusing on social and political concerns from around the globe. The time is certainly ripe as the U.S. — and world — flare in opposition on so many important issues.
