The Troublemakers Manifesto: A Design Colloquium, is the title of an academic conference for which we were are required to develop a key artwork and collateral. Like all conference promotional material, there is a need to develop a key-artwork or signature artwork that will be used across the different collateral: Poster, T-Shirt, Tote bag and a Microsite to invite and promote the event.
So what is The Troublemakers Manifesto: A Design Colloquium?
The conference seeks to provoke inner dialogue of one's beliefs and to create a new paradigm shift through alternative viewpoints. Troublemakers often make others feel uncomfortable. They challenge the norm, they question establishments rules and the status quo. This tension is needed to break the monotony brought about by societal conformity to the diktats of those wielding influence.To most people, troublemakers are not a welcome lot but without their disruptive tendencies - creating ripples and ruffling feathers - unspoken ideas will not be made known, and innovations will not come to pass. Why do they do, what they do? What principles and values lie beneath their decisions and actions? Are you a troublemaker, if so what is your manifesto?
