Authoritarianism goes globa

• The International Day of Democracy, 15 September

Imagine that the United Nations has commissioned this project for the promotion of its International Day of Democracy. As an independent designer, you are free to advocate your position of what democracy means to you.Anthony D Romero, a public-interest activist and the Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, pointed out in his TED Talk presentation—“This is What Democracy Looks Like”—that “democracy must not be a spectator sport.”This design project asks you to search for your parameters to advocate world democracy through visual icon design.
