“Recently, Art Center College of Design students directed their communications prowess towards human rights, yielding emotionally-charged pieces that straddle the line between mass commercialism and high art. Expertly rendered, the posters represent the students' profound conceptual foresight. The designs — sponsored by France Los Angeles Exchange — premiered in 2008 at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris as a ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and are now on view in a free exhibit at the Skirball.”

View twenty provocative, large-scale graphic-art posters by students from the Art Center College of Design, created in 2008 to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Illustrating the artists' personal interpretations of articles put forth in the milestone document, the images not only reinforce the declaration's principles but also highlight human-rights violations around the world today—from the abuse of sweatshop workers to the conscription of child soldiers.
