IMAGINE MANIFESTO POSTER

Typography poster project

This manifesto is accredited to John Lennon, who sang these profound words as a desire for utopia and peace.

My take on Lennon’s words is that there is no longer time to achieve a world without evil; the clock shows his words dispersing as pieces of the clock break apart. The color scheme is meant to be ironic, showing vibrant rainbow colors because the diversity of the world has caused it to collapse rather than persevere. The background is pitch black, which makes the neon colors stand out.

Here are the full lyrics to the manifesto: Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us, only sky, Imagine all the people, Livin' for today, Ah, Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion, too, Imagine all the people, Livin' life in peace, You, You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will be as one, Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world, You, You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will live as one. This manifesto is about peace and still lives on as a powerful song with a strong message.

THE NEW SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Typography poster project

The New School Part-Time faculty and students went on strike for 2 months in hopes for better legislature at the university.

I created a newsletter that illustrates the the dedicated activists. I also took inspiraation from their chant of disruption and personified that by taking over the school mascot with provoking words. And the irony on the words reflected on the university windows make them even more antagonizing. The strike will now be helping participants of the strike earn a pay grade in the duration of this act of solidarity. If the school refuses to pay part-time faculty members during the strike period, due to not working in classrooms, then the strike will take matters into their own hands and show professors their worth. Many students, although not asked to, have also continued to finalize projects by choice. It was implied that there be no work assigned, no contact between new school email addresses, and pausing existing work. But with many students continuing to partake in projects, (this is a choice), it just shows how dedicated students are to making their professors proud. They are using what they were taught in the classrooms by their very dedicated teachers. The students DO NOT take their professors or their education for granted.
