Seeing Red Exhibition

The exhibit, Seeing Red, is a forum for designers to speak out, raise awareness and affect change. It is an opportunity to discuss the issues we care most about in a format we all recognize: posters.
This is the medium of the masses, the agent for change - it is the rectangular declaration of who we are and what we believe in.

In graphic design, our influence is in color, space, form, and font; it is the power to encourage or discourage, attract or repel, incite or restrain human beings in their emotional, mental, and spiritual endeavors. We are, in effect, the traffic directors of society.

The title, Seeing Red, refers to the artists' unrest with contemporary issues as well as the common visual theme of the show: red and black. More than a venue or even a dialogue, Seeing Red is also a fundraiser, as all profits from poster sales benefit a charity of the designer's choice.

Our attempt is to create more than a dialogue. We are attempting to create a tangible method of bettering the world.

The posters at Seeing Red have been printed by hand in a traditional form of printmaking called silkscreening. This method allows the printer to use two pure inks, making the red and black extremely rich and vibrant. Screenprints have a textural quality not found in other methods of printing. All posters in this exhibit have been printed on archival quality paper. As only 15 prints of each poster have been made, this is a very unique opportunity to own an original piece of artwork.
