DON'T BRAND on ME!

 

The enigmatic Department of Public Design™ has returned from its long hiatus and is announcing its newest project; an exhibition at Form + Content Gallery in Minneapolis for graphic designers and visual communicators to submit new or existing work in response to the rampant consumerism and  corporatizing of democracy and global culture.


The exhibition invites work from designers in all parts of the world that is contemporary, experimental, provocative, pertinent and poignant, either locally or globally, and is open to all media used in the discipline.  We encourage personal expression unencumbered by professional boundaries and respect work that merges art, design, typography, image and message.
