The Problem with Design as Activism

Very often designers will create a poster, slap it on the wall, and walk away. This is a big problem in the design world. Graphic design, as it is used today, is an extremely passive method of communication and activism. Simply putting a poster on the wall, no matter how big it is, will not save the world. Every designer, including our studio, is guilty of this passive method of action, and it is time for a change within our field's strategy of “action.” Instead of creating a design that purely exists to promote a message, it is important to think of your work as a promoter of action through example.
