Poster for Tomorrow is the main project of ‘4 Tomorrow’, an independent and non-profit organisation. The idea behind Poster for Tomorrow is to encourage people, both in and outside the design community, to make posters to stimulate debate on issues that affect us all. “Draw Me Democracy” is a series of 12 workshops that are happening across the world in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Will Georgi from Holland and Tommaso Minnetti from Italy, conducted a workshop (from April 23 to 27) at the Karachi University’s department of visual studies. Keeping the theme “Draw Me Democracy”, students and design graduates attended the workshop and presented their posters.

The organisation was launched in 2009 as a way for a group of designers to draw awareness to the censorship that people across the world suffer from. From there it grew into an international movement to campaign for every man and woman’s right to freedom of expression and later for the abolition of the death penalty.

The workshop mentors said that they chose posters design as their tool “because on a basic level, they are easy to make and distribute. On a wider level, they’re an attractive and accessible platform to express thoughts, engage people in debate and create discussion across the whole spectrum of society.”–Text by Eefa Khalid/Dawn.com
