Graphic Design Manifesto

{20th anniversary international traveling juried exhibition}

…………

Graphic design educators around the globe were invited to design a poster that expresses their teaching philosophy. During my sabbatical in 2022, I paused to write a manifesto asking —
Why do I teach : What am I teaching :
Why do I design : What am I designing :
Why do I serve : What am I serving :
Who is it for?
My self-reflective writing became content for the poster design.

“The exhibit showcases various viewpoints and pedagogical and ideological priorities and aim to inspire and be starting points for cross-cultural dialogue among students, faculty, graphic designers, and other expert communities. With this exhibit, the curators aim to encourage cross/disciplinary debate and to provoke the next generation of graphic designers to actively shape the future of our profession.”
— I Profess: The Graphic Design Manifesto, 20th Anniversary Traveling Exhibition is a collaboration between Chris Corneal, Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Michigan State University, and Audrey G. Bennett, University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
