Event description
On November 24, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., get crafty to turn an idea that’s important to you into an eye-catching visual campaign.
Attention-grabbing design
Presented as part of the exhibition Active Grieving: The Aesthetic Activism of ACT UP Montréal, this workshop invites participants to think about the power of images and words to get across important ideas. By playing with letters, words, images and typographic compositions, you’ll discover how graphic design can attract attention and create a powerful message.
Create your own campaign
Which cause is close to your heart? Do you get fired up about the environment, inclusion, mental health or another issue? In this workshop, you’ll get to create a visual identity for an awareness campaign. Using simple cutting, photocopying, fabric painting and typographic composition techniques, you’ll create a button and a banner with your message.
Experiment and express yourself
You’ll get to test different ways of communicating visually while developing your creative instincts. You’ll discover how graphic design can support ideas, rally people around a cause, and become a valuable tool in conveying a message.
