Design Canada

Documentary · 2018

Design Canada is the first documentary chronicling the history of Canadian graphic design and how it shaped a nation and its people. What defines a national identity, is it an anthem? A flag? Is it a logo or icon? How do these elements shape who we are? In the 60s and 70s, these questions were answered by an innovative group of Canadian designers, who used design to unify the nation. "Retracing Canada's design lineage is a reminder that to know a country’s graphic design is to know its history." – Wired Magazine "The best graphic design can look so natural that we forget they even had to be invented." – National Post "It's the untold story of the images that shaped Canada's identity and it's not just for design nerds." – CBC Arts
