PPP SB2 - See Red - Womens Workshop exhibition

SEE RED

Village Bookstore held an exhibition of original prints taken from the book 'See Red- Womens Workshop' a book which showcases the feminist design work by the See Red movement, the posters touch on political and social topics from a feminist point of view. Each poster is unique and takes on different styles of the different women involved in the group. The posters are still relevant today with topics which were being fought against back when these were made (late 70's - 80's) are still conflicts today. The posters take form through, screen print lithograph and other means which were available to the group. The exhibition made me realise how design can be used as a voice and how strong messages can be put across, design doesn't have to sell something, it can be a powerful force for positive change, this will help and influence my design styles and choices for upcoming briefs. Briefs such as OUGD505 ethical design.
