UNI invites Architects, Visual/Graphic Designers, and the student fraternity for the first edition of its series of Graphic Design Challenges as part of its unit block, Graphis.
Challenges under ‘Graphis’ are carefully curated to bring out the best of visual communication and graphic language to educate, reflect, and inspire change with respect to pertinent world issues through visuals.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and Graphis abides by that adage, to inspire participants to try and portray complex ideas and emotions through a still image.
The competition understands the importance of efficient and effective communication in the digital age and aims to recognise innovative ideas and techniques that aim to redefine the notions guiding conventional graphic design, and foremost, create impact.
The three wise monkeys are a pictorial depiction of legend hard to trace back to its origin but of significance in the Buddhist culture. The oldest legend is said to be of the belief that human beings have three wicked worms that live in them, that note down every sin they do and report it to a higher being once every sixty days.
Various forms of the legend are found throughout Asia, but they all commonly depict three monkeys, one closing its eyes to see no evil, one closing its ears to hear no evil and one closing its mouth to say no evil. While the interpretations of this idea may change through religions and continents even, the message that it tries to convey remains the same, avoid bad things, do good things.
The aim of the competition brief is to make a poster/artwork in the form of a visual illustration.
The illustration should depict the legend and message delivered by the three wise monkeys for the modern generation using just red, yellow and blue colours as a theme.
The three wise monkeys remain a strong messenger even today, remaining unchanged for centuries. This project must propagate the social message to be relevant to the younger generation.
