Exhibition

Can Graphic Design Save Your Life?

Wellcome Collection, London
2017–18
Originated and co-curated by GraphicDesign&

Comprising over 200 objects spanning six centuries, drawn from multiple archives and lenders, this show was the first ever of its kind. Foregrounding the role of graphic design in constructing and communicating healthcare messages around the world, it demonstrated how graphic design impacts on what we notice, what we understand and the actions we take – and made the case for the essential role graphic design plays in matters of life and death.

Perhaps the perfect field to help visitors don the shoes of the designer.
