"Rip It Up" explores how the raw, anti-establishment energy of the 1970s punk movement shattered traditional rules and permanently redefined the trajectory of graphic design.

Born out of political frustration and a DIY ethos, punk design rejected clean layouts and corporate perfection. Instead, it championed a chaotic, accessible visual language made of cut-and-paste typography, photocopied textures, stolen imagery, and neon color palettes. This presentation traces the movement's evolution from basement zines and underground gig posters to its profound, lasting influence on modern branding, editorial design, and contemporary visual culture.

Discover how a subculture that set out to destroy design rules ended up creating an entirely new blueprint for visual expression.
