Production Technology: The design process started as a brainstorm of keywords and spontaneous sketches of them. For the posters to be as relevant and relatable to the viewer as possible, the designer began her design process with hand-drawn sketches of body figures. She took references from comic illustrations and protest arts, taking the sketches into computer software, and integrated typography into the narratives to better communicate the ideas.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part of this project is to find a way to effectively visualize abstract ideas into narratives that are easy to comprehend. The research process involved an extensive search of all kinds of protest art and illustration style for visual reference. The key was to develop a compelling narratives with a good balance of visuals and typography.
Inspiration: This project can be seen as a product of the designer's observation of 2020. It has been a difficult year that has raised lots of questions and challenges for all of us. We have always been talking about them, but 2020 has finally forced us to act - to wear masks, to vote, to unlearn biases - to take actions for a cause. It serves as a comment and a reminder for society, that changes will only come if we choose to act.
Operation Flow: The campaign consists of three phases: first, the posters bring the idea of taking action into viewers' notice, and then direct viewers' to share their acts in digital spaces and social media with the hashtag #2020ActionMeansEverything. And by posting with the hashtag, participants have a chance to win designer goods as rewards for their actions.
