For the past several weeks, talented Blue State creative director Judy Su and I have been mentoring a cohort of design students designing political posters for Global Citizen's Young Artist Collective. The pieces came out amazing, and created a buzz at this year's Global Citizen Now (not a client!) event here in New York. I want to give all these young designers major props, and can't wait to see the second life that these print pieces have on tiktok/instagram (and linkedin!) as we move closer to the election And thanks Izabela Rodzen-Olesinski and Katherine Galbo for the opportunity to work with these creatives.
