Graphic Design at UCK

We got this in today to post on bulletin boards around campus so I’m passing it on in case any of you are interested:

I was reading Adbusters on my way to work this morning and came across an interesting competition. It grew from the idea that design is ”at war with itself”. It’s about the challenge to create a world that embraces the idea of ’global citizenship’, or this idea of one world united for peace and harmony. Hence the name of the competition: One Flag.

From the website:
The time has come for a radical shift in priorities. We are now faced with some of the most daunting global challenges in human history. These are real targets, worthy of our problem-solving skills, ripe for our intervention. Yet those who have the vision to rise above national and political boundaries still have no symbol to rally under. We invite you to create a flag – free from language and well-worn clichés – that embodies the idea of global citizenship. A symbol that triggers pride and cohesion, whether worn on a backpack, displayed on a door, or flown on a flagpole. A symbol for anyone to declare membership in a growing and vital human cooperative. We invite you to prove that design has a real role to play in the fate of our world.

If you pick up a copy of the magazine, it’s in issue 78 Media Democracy. You can read more about it here. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2008.

LCUCK Students have been invited to participate in a condom wrapper design competition to win a few cool prizes like a iPhone, a magazine subscription to Eye and an Ann Summers gift voucher. I’ve scanned the letter and the poster so you can see what it’s all about.
