FYI examines the world around us through Infographics; a form of visual communication that combines information with typography and presents it in an artistic way.

Visit the poster show at the Seattle Design Festival, a block party event located on John St. in South Lake Union, September 20th - 23rd, 2012. The Seattle Design festival is a forum for design organizations to join forces and celebrate Seattle’s creativity and ingenuity. Other featured exhibits include explorations in human interaction, architecture, film, interactive, industrial, environmental & interior design.

Join us for a variety of food vendors, live music and creativity. More details at www.seattledesignfestival.org

Information loves design and design loves a good old fashioned poster contest. Be a jury member; Like our Facebook page and vote for your favorite posters. The poster with the most “thumbs up” wins our Best In Show award and will be a featured piece in all media coverage. All submissions will be printed and on display at the Seattle Design Festival. Posters must be submitted electronically. Please click the link below for the Creative Brief and details on how to enter. All applicants are asked to register for the event as soon as possible. This gives us an estimate of potential poster entries and will help us with print coordination.

All poster content is designed with a purpose; to activate, engage and educate our community. We asked designers to capture, design and illustrate the collective conscience of the world around us and to find interesting, important, useful, outrageous, remarkable and entertaining information to convey it. It’s a great ice breaker.
