The Graphic Imperative

This is a art event that occurred at SDSU's art museum. I went to the event earlier this October.
They were different posters that talks about different issues such as Peach, Environment and Social Injustice. With multiple posters from artists around the globe they used designs to show certain ideas. The website too shows the posters for those who'd be interested in going to visit the exhibit. The site shows the posters using flash, making it easy to scroll through the posters seen at the museum. I enjoyed visiting the exhibit and seeing artists form ideas based on several simple ideas. For example one called the 'Wave of Peace' which are white doves formed together above the ocean forming what looks like a wave. I was able to see that art can be comprised of several different techniques to make a simple piece into a strong statement.
