We Tried to Warn You!: 50 Years of Environmental Poster Design [9798887622149]

Overview

From warning and protest to hope and action, fifty years of environmental graphic design.

Posters have been used to warn, protest, persuade, educate, and inspire. We Tried to Warn You! brings together environmental graphics from around the world, tracing the evolution of ecological concerns from the first Earth Day to contemporary climate justice movements. Together, these works offer a remarkable snapshot of the issues, ideas, and visual languages that have shaped public understanding of environmental change over the past fifty years.

Inspired by the popular Poster House exhibition of the same name, this book considers what environmental graphics make visible, what they leave out, and how design can shape the boundaries of public debate. Featuring essays by Bill McKibben, Carolyn Finney, and John Kenneth Paranada, this collectionis both a compelling visual history and a provocative look at how graphic design has helped shape the ways we recognize, interpret, and respond to a changing planet.
