Learning Goals
Students will be able to analyze Russian Constructivist protest posters using bold geometry, limited color, and dynamic typography to explain how visual design creates urgency and social meaning.
Students will be able to identify and define a local community issue by gathering evidence from the gallery walk, class discussion, and peer critique to clarify a human-centered design challenge.
Students will be able to create and refine a Constructivist-inspired protest poster series that uses composition, color, and typography to communicate a clear message to a specific audience.

Constructivist Protest Poster Research Portfolio and Prototype Sketches
Each student submits a short visual research portfolio based on the gallery walk, plus 2–3 thumbnail prototype sketches for one local issue. The work must show how firsthand observations of message, mood, and audience informed an initial poster concept.
Classroom Exhibition Protest Poster Series with Shared Problem Statement
Teams synthesize individual research and prototypes into a higher-fidelity poster series and a shared problem statement for exhibition. The final set must clearly connect the issue, intended audience, and design decisions so the work is ready for stakeholder feedback.
