Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Citizens for Optimism is a col­lab­o­ra­tion among 17 up and com­ing design­ers who strive to use their unique styles to inspire hap­pi­ness through design. On our mis­sion to pro­mote opti­mism we asked New Yorkers what words or feel­ings they asso­ci­ated with opti­mism. We nar­rowed down a long list to sev­en­teen words and gave each designer one word along with a sim­ple brief, design a type dom­i­nant poster that pro­moted opti­mism. The out­come, noth­ing less than amaz­ing work.

The team has a new show going up in Brooklyn on Friday at Brooklyn Collective, from 6PM-9PM. And you can also pur­chase any of the prints you see below (plus a few more) in thier Etsy shop right here.
