I designed this poster for Borderless Graphic Designers (BGD), an organization based in Vancouver BC, Canada that aims to leverage graphic design for social good. The group focuses on connecting graphic designers with projects that serve communities in need, both locally and internationally.
Their main activity is to hold art and educational programs, as well as to expand Canadian graphic design around the world. However, they are not limited to borders, they are always trying to bring designers from around the world together to create a more beautiful world. They support programs and artists around the world and are willing to work with them—Bridges, Not Walls: Unity in a Divided World.

This exhibition had the Canadian Perspective of Neighbours, Not Rivals: Canada & the U.S. in a Changing World Trade tensions, shifting alliances, and diplomatic challenges redefine the Canada-U.S. relationship.
Their question is: Should we build walls or bridges? and The Narcissist’s Mirror: When Ego Shapes Policy—When leaders prioritize personal power over national well-being, policies become self-serving rather than beneficial for the people.
Their theme critiques political narcissism and its consequences, urging designers to showcase distorted reflections of power, authoritarian imagery, or leaders blinded by their own egos. Stronger Together: Defending Diversity in Canada prides itself on inclusivity, but rising global nationalism threatens this identity. How can we visually celebrate diversity?
