The People’s Communication Charter is a bold call to all democratic societies, challenging them to ensure balanced distribution and use of media and free expression without prejudice and stereotyping.
As a designer, your task is to produce a work that communicates the ideals expressed in the Charter.
For example, you can choose to demonstrate the current global injustices around ownership, content, and flow of communication and information, or, more optimistically, reveal examples of how these injustices have been overturned and more democratic conditions implemented. But these are just suggestions; you’re the creative, after all!
