DESIGN NAME: Option
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Poster 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.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Powerful visual communication is catching people's attention, and it's straightforward to the core message.
