Visual Communication Design
Designed Dissent celebrates Aotearoa’s nuclear-free movement through the ephemera it left behind. Through editorial design, it weaves the visual language of protest with the historical context, highlighting the role of design in activism. Bright and colourful design, interviews with designers and activists, and a call to create new protest ephemera connect the past movement with the present, inspiring young designers to see protest as powerful and relevant today.
