'WHY DESIGN'
How could we function
Why Design
cause without design
After all, design is everywhere.
From small things like pins and stickers to major things like street signs, tv shows, etc.
In a chaotic, apocalyptic world, the importance of design is often overlooked. People fail to recognize how design shapes and influences every aspect of their environment, even in times of crisis. This poster aims to highlight the omnipresence of design, showing that, whether in survival tools, communication, or technology, design is essential for shaping our experiences and solutions. The objective is to emphasize how design remains crucial, even when everything else seems broken, and to inspire a deeper understanding of its impact on our daily lives.
