This week, we are launching #illustoriaweekofaction, a campaign in solidarity with communities around the globe seeking justice for black lives cut short by atrocious acts of hate. Illustoria is committed to fighting racism and listening to the unheard. DAY 1 in our week of action: make a protest poster! ⠀
⠀
Make your voice heard with a bold design. Protest posters need not only be carried to rallies. You can also place them in front of your window of your house, in your car, or frame and place it on the wall. ⠀

Step 1: Pick a slogan. What words matter most to you? ⠀

Step 2: Make a few thumbnail sketches of possible designs. This is always a great idea before embarking on a large piece! Need inspiration? Check out the iconic posters of some of our favorite artists @emorydouglasart, @favianna1, @bluekaza and #SisterCoritaKent @coritaartcenter. ⠀

Step 3: Sketch out your design in pencil 1st! ⠀

Step 4: Use markers, paint, paper, or whatever materials you have at hand to create your design. ⠀
⠀
Step 5: Display proudly. Share your work with us #illustoriaweekofaction. Poster by our publishing assistant Claire Astrow.
