Sticks + Stones: A Collaborative Exchange Exploring Labeling and Stereotyping in Graphic Design: Creative Project, 2005-present


Issue 

Race, religion, socio-economic class, lived geographic locations, and personal beliefs all contribute to the unique perspective we take as creative professionals. The need to understand how these differences shape who we are and thus our approach to visual messages is an ethical component of the graphic designer’s professional duties. The need for graphic designers is urgent: for if these differences and the potentially skewed perspectives are not recognized, then slippage between accurate and faulty messages will occur into design works that can potentially influence the greater population.

 - The creatives perspective and how this influences our work, Which comes from 

4 awesome solutions

1. Students then worked in groups to create a series of exhibit pieces related to this content. One project called upon a group of to venture out in Berlin streets wearing a t-shirt asking “What would people call me behind my back?” Students approached random people to write descriptions of the t-shirt wearer. This project made visible the otherwise invisible but potent stereotypes we hold of others. (Refer to uploaded video.)

2. A second group created a series of typographic posters using quotes from interviews with immigrants. Quotes such as “Your mind will never be in peace;” and “I want to go back.” added specific, first-person perspectives on what it is like to be an immigrant.

3. A third group created interactive pieces that integrated input from exhibit visitors. One project, a mural-size world map, asked visitors to denote where they live now, where they want to live and where they never want to live. Visitors wrote comments on the map to explain their choices. This project revealed geographical stereotypes of global locations.

4. A fourth group sought to dispel stereotypes with posters of some of the symposium participants. On one side the posters listed the common stereotypes associated with this student, given his or her home region, religion, and assumed customs; the other side of the poster revealed which of these stereotypes were correct for that person, if any. This series of posters was both playful and informative, challenging visitors to reconsider not only the stereotypes in front of them but others they might hold as well.

'Opportunities for awareness and learning about ethical considerations of the design profession are limited outside a university setting. If college students are not exposed to these issues, then they will most likely conduct their professional career unaware of this essential knowledge. If students can learn to make a difference, the collective positive effect might also be felt globally.'
