Pride and Protest

  • Beth Johnson
Brief: Write and design a publication which investigates the graphic agitation of the gay rights movement. The copy explores the visual journey of revolutionary symbols such as the pink triangle and rainbow flag, the book design should reflect the unapologetic language of dissent and protest.
Solution: Hand screen printed pages and cover. An abstract rainbow gradient to symbolise the dilution of the rainbow flag as a revolutionary symbol. Bold typography combined with a playful thesaurus of protest imagery communicates the passion of the cultural struggle.
