SHOW
DON’T
TELL
︎
OK, I’ll tell a little bit. Sometimes big creative decks are heavy and dense. Posters and pins are fun. Before the creative team and I dove headlong into what would turn out to be the most substantial creative deck I’ve worked on, we wanted to shift our own behavior with the hopes of provoking a more dynamic conversation and trigger an emotional response from our design teams and the company at large. We concepted and designed a series of posters, engineered a modular DIY installation outside our studio and distributed handmade buttons to push some our conclusions and insights into a more public light and give them some levity.
The posters shown here as flats and the buttons are some of the graphics I designed and contributed to the installation. The below shots show the install mid process and also feature the work of the rest of the creative team who were my partners in crime for this project. In addition to being fun and visually powerful, this creative propaganda is interesting because (if done well) can embed itself into the cultural brain trust. Once ideas become objects, they have the potential to outlive any seasonal/directional origins and plant creative seeds that spawn ideas and connection in perpetuity.
