Jordan C. Bowden
I’m an art director and graphic designer who has worked for agencies, in-house teams, and on independent projects since graduating from OCAD in 2010.
Along the way I’ve learned a lot designing and branding for film festivals, publications, loyalty programs, non-profits, healthcare, travel, provincial ministries, exhibitions, and municipalities.
Currently I’m based in Toronto focused on graphic design that intersects with civic life, and really good science fiction.
Activism doesn't always have to be loud. While actions may speak louder than words the act of visually spelling out certain words, and posting them for all to see, can effect more change than the loudest megaphone.
Grounded in a quick look at historical protest signage and my recent work for Cycle Toronto's bike lane campaigns, this presentation celebrates how typography functions as a powerful tool for introverted activists.
