Ever wish you could loudly protest a pet peeve? In Dafi Kuhne’s Typographic Printing Program (TPP), that’s just what we did. From a list of personal annoyances, we made posters to protest just the thing you’d normally not bother with.
I’ve attended two sessions of the TPP at Archetype Press at ArtCenter College of Design. My first year, my small protest was about the lack of pockets in women’s clothing, specifically dresses. In my second year, my small protest was about people who don’t know how to park their car in a single parking spot of a parking lot. I have many more small protests, but these two made for fun posters.

Maps provide knowledge of location; humans gain an understand of where they are and where they are going. Artist maps explore further; they chart the unknown through creativity and imagination. In a time where everyone has access to a map in their pocket via Google Maps, getting lost is difficult. Finding your way with the help of a map, be it a map of the city you are visiting or the map of a continent you’re exploring in Dungeons and Dragons, maps are drawn by cartographers and artists.
