Ideas of revolt: rewrite the rule before the poster

Begin with a rule that shapes daily visual life: who may speak, what counts as legible, which form must be completed, or which space receives attention. Students write the rule in one sentence and collect two pieces of evidence that show how it operates.

Next, rewrite the rule. The rewrite must name who gains a new choice, what changes, and what cost or conflict appears. This step keeps “revolt” from becoming a mood without a proposition.

Produce one visual communication for a specific audience and place. Limit the first version to one typeface, two colours, and one reproduction method. The constraint makes hierarchy and wording visible during critique.

Critique asks four questions: Can the existing rule be identified? Is the proposed change clear? Who is missing from the audience model? What happens if the work succeeds? Students then revise the rule statement before they revise the artefact.

This page is a new exercise, not a reopened call for submissions. No work sent to a former organiser can be recovered here.
