The concept of the book focuses on
•The Influence of the West on graphic design in Iran
•Iranian women in graphic design
•Graphic design as a tool for freedom of speech
Government censorship, limited resources, and political repression can all pose significant obstacles to designers who seek to use their skills to promote social change. However, despite these challenges, Iranian graphic designers continue to produce powerful and impactful work that challenges the status quo and promotes greater awareness of human rights issues. Through their work, these designers are helping to shape public opinion, raise awareness, and promote greater understanding of the importance of freedom of speech and other fundamental rights and freedoms.
Ultimately, the combination of freedom of speech and graphic design in Iran has the potential to create a more just and equitable society, where human rights and civil liberties are respected and protected, and where individuals are free to express themselves without fear of censorship or repression.
Graphic design can play a powerful role in promoting freedom of speech in Iran by creating visual materials that challenge oppressive regimes, express dissent, and promote human rights and civil liberties. Designers can use typography, color, imagery, and other visual elements to create bold, eye-catching designs that convey powerful messages of resistance and empowerment.In Iran, graphic designers face significant challenges when it comes to promoting freedom of speech.
