Extended Practice Brief #7: Irrational Fears [Design Research]

Pins Won't Save the World -Sagmeister & Walsh


  • created in collaboration with various artist and designers in response to the Trump administration in 2016. 
  • aimed towards young audiences and younger voters to vote against trump during the elections. 
  • money made from selling the designs are donated to services which are threatened by the Trump administration (e.g. LGBTQ communities)
  • effective - designs are politically charged but not necessarily look ‘serious’ or ‘heavy’ which made people pay attention instead of feel burdened to talk about the topic.

Grains of Sand - Natalia Oledzka

  • Grains of Sand - a publication inspired by the 'Grains of Sand' episode of the podcast 99% Invisible.
  • Contains essays about sand and a transcript version  of the podcast. 
  • Very Research heavy
  • Good use of layout, keeping an interesting way of gridding quotations and information on the page according to the images. 
  • The use of large publication size highlights the topic of mass production and sand; as well as the brown shades use throughout the aesthetic of the publication.
