Call for Submissions: The Design of Dissent

A dozen years ago Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic published the first edition of The Design of Dissent. Since then we have been through plenty of trying times, from the Arab Spring to Brexit and a very difficult political season in the US, people have needed to make their voice heard. Luckily, Glaser and Ilic will be documenting and archiving those voices in a new edition of their book, and want you to participate. The deadline is April 10th, 2017. —The Editors

A Letter from the Authors,

When our book The Design of Dissent was first published in 2005 we could not anticipate the era of conflict and disorder the world would face in the next decade. We have been immersed in the thousands of manifestations objecting to the political and social issues around the world.

Artists usually are the alarm system for society. We share the need to express danger when totalitarianism becomes more powerful. The Graphic Arts community uses the most primitive of means; posters, handouts, buttons, and graffiti linked to provocative ideas to protect us all.

We invite you to once again help us observe and record what has happened in our time.

Join us,
Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic
