BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

FOR DESIGNERS:

Dear white & non-Black POC designers
Where are the Black designers?
Decolonial Teaching in Action

FOR EVERYONE:

Anti-Racist Resource Guide: Become a better ally
A Radical Library (incl. books, texts, podcasts, & articles)
How to talk to people who disagree
How to support Black artists

ERROR: NATURE NOT FOUND

ERROR: NATURE NOT FOUND is an exploratory, multimedia project that looks at our personal relationships with nature and how technological nature is changing those relationships. Different perspectives and timelines are explored and the design outcomes reflect the different outlooks on the subject.

About the designer

Hello, I'm Aini! I'm a graphic designer who is also interested in illustration, photography and motion graphics, to name a few. I enjoy working with different mediums for self-expression and creativity. While working, I usually listen to lofi music or podcasts (Welcome to Night Vale is my all-time favourite podcast). When I'm not working, you'll find me either reading or taking trips to galleries, museums or gardens around Toronto.

Favourite typefaces?

Futura and Benton Modern Display

Posters used to give an introduction to the overall themes of the project.
Growing Pains: A collection of memories in nature.
161 Green Gold: A double meaning on the future of nature. On one hand, it's a collection of specimens to revive flora/plants in the future. On the other hand, nature has become a commodity due to its scarcity.
Pothead: Instagram filters that will have an image of a flower/plant covering your face.
Environmental Oblivion: An interactive display that disregards the importance of humans and their existence; similar to how humans treat nature.

Recession Grads is a digital archive & exhibition set to showcase the work of the Graphic Design 2020 graduating class at OCADU.
