Presented by the San Francisco chapter of AIGA, cause/affect is “a biennial, international design competition that celebrates the work of designers and organizations who set out to positively impact our society.” To promote the event, a collaborative poster was designed by Tim Belonax in collaboration with event co-chairs Kristen Bouvier and Arvi Raquel-Santos. First, Tim designed the “Make Your Mark” poster and it was printed offset in blue. Then past winners of the competition were invited to design a “mark” and then they all came together to silkscreen on top of the offset-printed posters for a beautifully layered result.

The copy and concept for the poster were developed first, focusing on themes of interaction, inclusion, and impact. We wanted to bring people into the process and design a piece that would facilitate our themes. The notion of collective, positive action is reiterated in the large titles “Make Your Mark / Make Our Mark” on both sides of the poster, while past cause/affect winners were invited to add their voices to the discussion via designed marks. The passion and commitment that drives most socially-conscious design projects is reflected in the production, form and content of the piece, meeting possible entrants on an equal level and elevating a humble piece of mail into a call for action.

Individually silk screening 2,000 different posters was no easy task. Plan! Plan! Plan! And make sure to have tons of support when undertaking a huge collaborative project.

Volunteers: Chris Behrandt, Neelu Bhuman, Kristen Bouvier, Allison Bucchere, Alice Bybee, Nate Chavez, Ryan Connolly, Gritchelle Fallesgon, Ted Folstad, Micah Kasman, Jesse, Liana Lawrence, HoMan Lee, Katy Liao, Jeremy Payne, Chantal Sanchez, Arvi Raquel-Santos, Roz Snitrak, Kiera Wesphal, Eugene Young, and HoMan Lee
