At the end of each fall term, the final project in the second-year students’ typography and illustration classes is a poster project. The challenge is to create a unique visual representation of a broad, single-word theme. In past years the themes have been Water, The Body, Fear, and Growth. This year the students explored a timely and visceral emotion: Evil. Their solutions run the gamut from malicious plotting over a refreshment to a glimpse into a devil’s off-hours.

For the past 4 years, IDEA Interprets Annual Poster Show has been an annual school project that culminates in a public exhibition at the Ferry Building Gallery in West Vancouver. Due to health measures around COVID-19, this spring’s show has been cancelled.

In light of this, we invite you to enjoy the images here on the IDEA School of Design blog. Thirteen of them will also appear in an upcoming 2021 promotional wall calendar. Shown above: “Nurture” illustration by Talia Rouck.
