I designed this poster to promote a lecture given at CSU, Chico on social media technology and democracy in the Middle East. The objective was to create a thought provoking piece using the fusion of type and image. Focusing on the topic of Facebook and the restrictions that are set in many countries in the Middle East, I worked with the idea of showing the “F5” command key on computers, which is widely used to refresh, referencing both the need to refresh the role of technology and the leadership in the countries of the Middle East.
