The Design of Dissent:

This panel discussion hosted by Michael Robinson will feature Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic focusing on Graphic Design’s ability to convey how power is effectively used, distributed, and justice is full-filled. Basing the talk around the book The Design of Dissent: Socially and Politically Driven Graphics and current events, the authors will discuss how to raise consciousness and awareness of design’s role on a variety of issues ranging from peace, animal rights, gun control, religion, the Iraq war, equality, women’s rights, gay rights and the corporate world. Here we can discuss how todays image makers and corporate shaman can help to create a more beautiful world we all know is possible.
