Designing for perspectives
Design aids communication. Above is a list of demands shared at today’s #NoMuslimBan (on stolen land) protest. Made me think of this post and the weird reality of design and its influence.
Today I witnessed movement made through sharing human emotion and experiences and in stark contrast, sharing a movement through “objective” journalism.
I’m still unsure how to process the experience. But what resonates is the raw emotion and story shared of an Iranian-Canadian immigrant sister, mother, daughter and child. It did make me realize though that taking a stance rather than appealing to an objective truth is what needs to happen during times of uncertainty or extreme, polarizing perspectives. “I think people crave the honesty, the uniqueness, the depth that comes out of bringing an actual perspective to our work.”
