The Design

About Option Affischdesign

Option är en affischdesign om kvinnors rättigheter. Affischen uppmanar kvinnor att inte vara tysta utan att höja sin röst till världen. Budskapet uppmanar också allmänheten att inte förhålla sig tyst inför en fråga som sker runt omkring dem varje dag. Tystnad är inget alternativ, varken för kvinnor eller för allmänheten. Den centrala bilden är en kryssymbol, hämtad från de markeringar som gjorts på övergivna skisser och utkast under granskningen av arbetet. Krysset markerar att tystnad inte är ett alternativ. Affischen mäter 11 x 17 tum.

Unique Properties
The poster design is talking to the issue of Women rights. The concept is telling women not to keep silent. They need to raise their voice to the world. The public should not keep silent about this big issue, even though it’s happening around them every day. Silence is not an option for both women and the public. The idea of using the cross symbol came from the design process that evolved as people self-critiquing.

Production Technology
Sketching and photo shooting for exploring the idea making. Good graphic and solution appeared in the all process.
Design Challenge
Finding the powerful and appropriate visual language to speak out.
Research
Spoke to women who are in different groups of age, fields, and role. Taking surveys for specific questions. Those results and data bring up more inspiration to create design.
Inspiration
Femininity is still facing this problem in modern society, so Women's rights should be spoken out more. During the research and design process, finding powerful and appropriate visual language to present this sensitive topic becomes a big challenge. However, the cross symbol, for those abandoned idea sketches and design drafts, pops up in the process of critiquing designs. It represents this is not an option, both for design and the main message of the topic.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2017 in San Francisco and finished in June 2018 in San Francisco.
Operation Flow
Powerful visual communication is catching people's attention, and it's straightforward to the core message.
