In this workshop, participants will learn to identify graphic design 
elements and apply them to the project of producing activist posters. 
Focusing on questions of representation, communication and aesthetics, 
participants will evaluate the effectiveness of various activist posters 
before finally making their own. This workshop involves hands-on problem 
solving, theoretical discussion and the production of a poster using 
graphic design equipment.

Officer for CUPE Local 3903, representing Teaching Assistants and
