“Fear”—2018 Poster Exhibit by 2nd year students runs May 1 to May 13, 2018

You're invited to meet the artists (IDEA School of Design second year students) at the opening of this year's IDEA Interprets annual poster show.

IDEA Interprets explores a single theme through typography and illustration.

IDEA Interprets is an annual exhibition by Capilano University Bachelor of Design students which runs every spring at The Ferry Building Gallery located at 1414 Argyle Ave, Ambleside Landing, West Vancouver, British Columbia.

The poster show and sale helps to support the development of emerging local artists. The theme of the 2018 show, “Fear”, has been imaginatively interpreted by second year illustration and design students.

Each illustrative and typographic poster is a response to this year’s theme, which provoked multiple interpretations and treatments, from activism to visual journalism, to personal experience and storytelling.

We are pleased to feature a sneak peek of the posters from the exhibition. There will be 22 posters exhibited in the Ferry Building Gallery, May 1-13, 2018, but all the students' 11x17 posters will be available for purchase.

Join the second year students from Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design as they face a universal and multifaceted emotion: Fear.

Mark 39

“A summary of the 1961 Goldsboro Incident, when two Mark 39 atomic bombs came close to detonating over North Carolina. It was designed to look innocuous from a distance.”—Graeme Duckett

Fear Hate

“Shapes that initially appear exotic and unrecognizable, upon further study explore the relationship between two very relevant words in todays society.”—Noah Kawamura

Fear Eye

“Who knows what's looking back at us from the depths of the unknown?”—Noah Kawamura

Childhood Fears

“This poster was inspired from my childhood as a provincial competitive swimmer. I would race through the waters trying to out race the imaginary creatures but fast creatures.”—Danica Koller

Never Grow Up

“Never Grow Up" explores what everyone tries to avoid, becoming an adult. This is actually a compilation of 10 pictures due to my limited amount of building blocks. A lot of hours went into it but I got to play along the way.”—Courtney Lamb

No Fear In Love

“This poster explores fearlessness in love through a collage of painting details from the Rococo Period, an era of art that is unapologetically romantic.”—Sydney Toews

Not reaching creative enlightenment.

“This poster is a reflection of my frustration with artistic blocks, which happen more often than I would like to admit.”—Teresa Cantu

Should I Stay? Should I Go?

“Although home is where the heart is, at the back of our minds, there’s always a little thought of yearning for something more beyond our comfort zone.”—Evelyn Chua

fear of the dark

“Fear of the Dark was inspired by the insight that the things we fear are often not as frightening as they appear.”—Heather Haughn

Fear No Beast But Man Himself

Jennifer Panata spent most of her life indoors because it was too hot in Indonesia. Her two fear posters express her crippling social insecurities as well as her love for dogs.
