\u201cHow does the inevitable intersection of design and politics make you feel?\u201d I\u2019ve been staring at this question for what feels like twenty hours, I feel a lot of things, and also no things towards this question.\u00a0 If I could choose, I would love to have a design career where none of my designs are for a political statement<\/s>.\u00a0 I guess scratch that, I don\u2019t want to be involved in the Democratic or Replublican idea of politics.\u00a0 When it comes to the split party idea of politics, the \u201cwhose side are you on?\u201d, the \u201cwell you\u2019re either with us or you\u2019re against us\u201d side of politics, I\u2019m not about it, and I feel that the current split party politics is very delusional.\u00a0 I\u2019m not a fan of supporting political leaders or movements who are busy dividing us between red and blue than they are uniting us as human beings in our overflowing similarities.\u00a0 Media is nasty, and has only gotten more deceptive, click-baity, and straight up dishonest over the decades that I\u2019ve personally seen.\u00a0 If I were to have any input in political design it would be promoting nobody, it would probably be something close to Banksy\u2019s street art graffiti – the political party as a whole is a scam and almost none of them truly care about any of the people in the country that they\u2019ve \u201csworn to protect\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design of political messages hasn\u2019t ever really caught my attention.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if you would consider graffiti artist known by Banksy to be a political designer, but I feel that his work is the closest to political artwork that I have admired or paid attention to.\u00a0 I really enjoy how his pieces make you think, they show the audience\u2019s ignorance into the world of the working class, the 99%, the lower class, the unseen.\u00a0 I\u2019m not even sure how I would get these sorts of messages across as a designer – I suppose through any media or form I decided to, but politics mostly make me depressed so I try to \u201cshare\u201d my part, be that Instagram, Facebook, social groups.. But for the most part I\u2019m not designing 8X8 squares of a political belief of mine in hopes it gets virally spread across the internet.\u00a0 Maybe I need to start.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
