'Shut Up Speak Up' is the theme of the open call poster project. Fake news, alternative facts, whistleblowers and polarising politicians. The contemporary social and political unrest is not about left or right, or right and wrong. Can you still trust the media when issues are complex and international? As a graphic designer, you play an important role in visualising outspoken opinions. Graphic Matters shows critical imagination by activists, pranksters and good guys who honour freedom of expression and challenge their audience to shape their personal opinion.
The media has the power. It's the real weapon of mass destruction, capable of spreading a virus all over the world. Even worse than not being informed has been misinformed.

Winner
"In response to our Open Call for posters we received 2.561 entries from designers in 91 countries. We asked them to Speak Up about stories they care about. Like we expected, there are many designers out there that engage with current issues. Without any beautification they use raw and direct images to motivate their audience. A poster won’t change the world, but it will definitely spark awareness".
