Design Chair Lori Young Accepts Medal from Graphis

Posted in News.

Graphis, The International Journal of Visual Communication has awarded Design Chair Lori Young with the Silver Medal for the upcoming design annual Social and Political Protest Posters.

Young’s design comes from her personal studio, Les Cheneaux Design Studio.

The poster was designed in response to the political state of affairs in the USA further illuminated by the federal government shutdown in 2013.

The style of the design references the Poster Style (Plakatstil) from the turn of the twentieth century and the influential designer, Lucian Bernhard.

The poster is sold to support a grassroots effort to raise awareness around local politics in Bowling Green, Ohio and encourage community involvement.
