Promoting social issues lies at the core of what we do at Working Design. Whether your posters are for a transportation initiative, a union campaign, or a fundraising event, we help write words and conceive images that grab attention.
For this International Women’s Day poster we used art by Favianna Rodriguez, a printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California, whose work is inspired and informed by the stylistic and radical impact of Chicano painters and printmakers.
Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juárez, Mexico, or her own abstract self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens. Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts. Check out her work.
This Fair Employment Week poster for the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE) addresses two-tier wage scales for permanent and part-time college employees who do the same work.
Working Design and Vancouver photographer Mona Kayello volunteered our work for the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition Bike to Work Week campaign.
When his kids were young, Working Design president Kris Klaasen volunteered on the PAC –Parent Advisory Council – at Carnarvon Community School. These little posters were designed to mark the school’s anniversary.
