Consumerism and Popular Culture in Graphic Design
Visual culture and Graphic design was used as a revolutionary media. Peoples printing studio which was set up by students in Paris in May 1968 L'Atelier Populaire
When there was a strike in Paris students thought they would participate and start a revelation. They kicked out the tutors and claimed the print studio and started to make all these prints which they placed everywhere. Capitalize and build a revolution. Crystalization of what a creative mind can do. Visual image of student revolution. Images that were screen printed. The posters produced by the atelier populaire are weapons in the service of the struggle and are inseperable part of it, their rightful place is in the centers of conflict, that is to say in the streets and on the walls of factories. To use them for decorative purposes to display them in bourgeois places of cultrure or to be consider them as objects of aesthetic interest is to impair both their function and their effect.
