The principle
A wordless poster has to communicate entirely through image, colour and composition. It is the ultimate test of a visual idea. Wordless communication crosses language barriers, and designing one reveals how much — or how little — your work has been leaning on copy.
Objective. Communicate a complete message without any text.
The brief
Design a wordless poster that asks people to protect their local park.
Constraints
- Absolutely no text, letters, numbers or logos
- The message must be clear to someone who speaks any language
- Maximum four colours
You're done when
- No text at all
- A clear, understandable message
- Universally readable imagery
Stretch goal
Design a wordless poster that communicates a time and a place, not just a message.
