Jing Zhou, MFA, professor of graphic and interactive design in the Department of Art and Design, published three social and environmental posters\u2014along with corresponding poems\u2014in “Continuum<\/a>” (ORO Editions, 2025) by Marlena Buczek Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poster designs, \u201cSustainability,\u201d \u201cWe Cannot Fight Terrorism Using State Terror,\u201d and \u201cWho Is Paying for the War?\u201d are part of Zhou\u2019s Backward Waves Poster Series<\/a>. They have previously been exhibited in prominent venues including the Mons Memorial Museum in Belgium, the Danish Poster Museum, and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Zhou also composed the corresponding poems, \u201cGarden Sweet Garden,\u201d \u201cThe Thread of Love,\u201d and \u201cThe Soldiers\u2019 Tickets,\u201d at Smith’s invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Continuum” challenges designers to leave their comfort zone to become \u201cpart poet\u201d thereby having the potential to meld two communities into one. The socially conscious work features a mix of mid-career and influential graphic designers, including Seymour Chwast (U.S.), Holger Matthies (Germany), Armando Milani (Italy), Alain Le Quernec (France), and Elizabeth Resnick (U.S.).

The foreword was contributed by noted designer and author, Debbie Millman. In her words, \u201cThe art and poetry in this collection extol the virtues of peace, human rights, and ecology. In doing so, the contributors have invented powerful new ways to envision the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
