the Politics of Design


In an ideal world we would all be living in recycled homes run on solar power, wearing clothes crafted from environmentally friendly fabric, driving hybrid cars; living in a world free from pollution. Almost all that we now design has an underlying environmental message promoting us to reduce, reuse, recycle: music, posters, architecture, etc, etc. This poster by Yulia Brodskaya titled, Please Recycle, is sending this exact message to its audience through the use of materials, typography and symbolism. By using recycled card to create this poster, the designer is sending the message that despite the card's original origins and purposes, it isn't hard to create something new and exciting with recycled materials; that the ideology of a clean, green, world is attainable.
