OUGD603 / Peter Kennard / Placard Design Competition
Brief
Peter Kennard Placard Competition
http://cnduk.org/component/k2/item/2330-stop-trident-placard-competition
Purpose:
‘This is an exciting opportunity for you to play an important role in the Stop Trident campaign and help make our demand clear: we don't want Trident and we don't want a new Trident.’
‘For your design to be considered, we ask that you follow this simple specification.
• Must convey the Stop Trident message
• Dimensions: A2 landscape or portrait
• The rest is up to you. We welcome your creativity!’
Audience:
The general public currently uninterested or believe in favor of renewing the Trident program. As similar to the D&AD Monotype project.
‘In the press coverage of the demo, your placard might feature in photos and TV footage of the event. Your design will also be displayed in promotions on social media and the CND web site ahead of the demo. We are also working with our demo partners to put on an exhibition of the shortlisted designs - more details on that soon.’
Deadline:
11 / 02 / 16

Interviews with CND UK Members.
Tate Modern – Peter Kennard
Paris 1968 uprising
Main Deductions:
Just as Peter Kennard had achieved with photomontage, the intent of the brief is to communicate a anti-nuclear agenda. Kennard communicated the agenda through the literal illustration of breaking a warhead in ‘Broken Warhead, 1980’ and an act of subversion in ‘Protest and Survive, 1980’.
The brief demands imagery that can be translated universally therefore the use of heavy copy is to be avoided, Kennard’s work can be understood regardless of language.
A.Stacey, head of Yorkshire CND admits ‘Everyone knows the CND symbol so we normally make sure it stands out and we usually use simple slogans’.
While Kennard’s work does most definitely communicate an anti-nuclear agenda, the context the work was created for is not suitable for the use on placards (bar Broken Missile, 1980). The imagery was created to be an artwork, to be viewed in a gallery space, not on a placard from a distance.
The posters noted in the Paris 1968 uprising do demonstrate the ability to concisely communicate a social agenda. The succinct delivery of rebellious beliefs is achieved through simplistic illustration, usually a single colour print as to be the cheapest therefore the most accessible.
‘OUI USINES OCUPEES’ – combines text and image to accumulate a message in both forms of communication resulting in the succinct, powerful message, as the CND brief desired for.
Initial Ideas
Approach:
The brief demands a design to simply convey the disarmament message however there are several narratives in which the design could do this. Selecting a narrative which holds the most resonance with the regular, currently not agenda driven, person grants the best chance of gaining supporters, creating a stronger force and subsequently creating a greater pressure upon government decision. = Concise, simple narrative.
The peace symbol, as seen at Bradford University, illustrates a mark that can be simply repeated by hand. This ease of repeating grants the common man greater accessibility in communicating the message, with hand-rendered repeat, the need for downloading, printing and constructing is dismissed. The scope for a mark to extend beyond a placard into other mediums too offers the stronger communication of an agenda. = Easy to repeat.
The placard must communicate ‘We don’t want TRIDENT’, the wording to do this can vary, the identification of the most concise manner to do which will then dictate design.
#STOPTRIDENT
STOP TRIDENT
SAY NO TO TRIDENT
SAY N£100b to TRIDENT
£100bn ON TRIDENT
DON’T REPLACE TRIDENT
NO TO NEW TRIDENT
£100 BILLION ON __________
SAY NO TO TRID£NT
NO=>
NO>
(INCLUDE SKETCHES)
As Kennard’s practice exemplifies – the fewer words, the more universal and subsequently, the greatest reach.
As the posters of ’68 Paris illustrate, the collating of image and copy create a stronger communication.
Limitations / Constraints
The imagery is to be printed on a A2 placard however the scalability of the design will bode well in it’s extended use – just as logo design requires.
The design must be set to CMYK and appear identical when viewed digitally – only colours that sit in both spectrums are to be used.
The design must be easily interpreted at great and close distances.
Development
How is the best way to communicate ‘NO>’ – A mergence of ‘No’ and a nuclear warhead.
Digital or Hand-rendered?
The digital translation using glyphs; N,O & > struggle to communicate the imagery of a warhead in 3D form.
Hand-rendered forms grant the ability to exaggerate a three-dimensional illusion due to the use of shading. The evident use of forms created by hand reiterates with a sense of humanity, just as ’68 Paris did, the evident DIY creation communicates through medium, a reflection of passion, individuality and personality rare to find in digital glyph forms.
Social Media Handle
The use of #STOPTRIDENT gives context to the ‘NO>’ message, relating it to the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmement while granting the ability for the imagery to extend into digital activism and publicity.
Peace Symbol
The inclusion of the peace symbol derives from 1st hand research, Yorkshire CND’s Adam Stacey identified the use of the symbol as a simple, effective manner in communicating the CND to the general public, a requirement identified in the brief.
Application
Why applied in this way?
The scale of the illustration needs to adhere to the requirement to be seen from varying distances while allowing space for the social media handle #STOPTRIDENT and the peace symbol.
Where? How?
500 double sided A2 Placards of two selected designs would be printed and distributed around Leicester Square on the 27th of February. The stock and process in which the placards would be printed was undisclosed.
Extension
The submitted design was awarded one of the two winners and subsequently distributed at the demonstration. Coinciding with the D&AD research trip, images of the placard in context illustrate the effectiveness and desired attributes of the piece.
The social media coverage of the design heralded the use of a hashtag as a successful manner to gain publicity.

OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / Insight - Pro or Anti Nuclear Arms?
Insight – building my own views
on Trident.
Before starting the project I believe it is
for my own morality that I decide if I am for or against Trident, to take part
in the project while being pro-Trident would be contradictory and morally wrong
to do. I aim to investigate opinions, perspectives and insight into the nuclear
program in order to develop an informed understanding that will grant me the
ability to carry on with the project. The act of attempting to build an opinion
does beg further questioning on my own perspective such as
Could I benefit from an anti-Trident
initiative? Would the money spent of the program be used for education,
healthcare or a general bettering of my quality of life?
If Trident is scrapped, is the country in more
danger from forces that would have previously been discouraged due to our
possession of such weapons.
One must acknowledge the difference between
multi and uni-lateral disarmament; Multilateral disarmament is an agreement by
all countries to disregard nuclear weapons whilst unilateral disarmament refers
to a singular country agreeing to disarm nuclear weapons. These versions of
disarmament create further dialogue within the argument for or against.
One must too acknowledge M.A.D in order to
develop a perspective on the argument and to subsequently develop an informed
opinion; ‘Mutual Assured Destruction, a.k.a. MAD. Mutual Assured
Destruction began to emerge at the end of the Kennedy administration. MAD
reflects the idea that one's population could best be protected by leaving it
vulnerable so long as the other side faced comparable vulnerabilities. In
short: Whoever shoots first, dies second.”
The M.A.D concept was to develop into M.A.S
(Mutual Assured Stability);
“a
condition in which neither party has the intention or capability to exercise
unilateral advantage
over the other.”
Stop
Trident Videos
Mr. Hardy discusses the idea of a power
balance, if one country has a nuclear weapons program; other countries are
motivated to do the same in order to sustain a mutual balance of power. Hardy
refers to this armament as an act of insanity and that to trust the powers that
have undertaken such armament is too, insane.
Mrs. Lucas focuses on the monetary cost of
the Trident program noting that, the 183bn that could be possibly spent on the cause
would be more efficiently used in sustaining the security of the country in
renewable energy initiatives alongside industry development.
Referring to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Mrs.
Britain notes the immortality of the use of nuclear weapons and aspires for
Britain to be a leading force in the demise of nuclear weapons globally.
Britain too refers to the monetary cost of the nuclear program as Lucas has,
proposing the money to be spent of other financial crises such as the NHS and
education.
Describing the spending of £100bn as
‘absolute nonsense’ Bruce Kent dissects the power associated with British
nuclear armament as only possible with American relations therefore the need
for Britain to hold nuclear weapons as ‘nonsense’. Kent notes the accidents
possible with nuclear weapons and a questioning of the effectiveness of a deterrent
to groups such as ISIS in which death is not feared and does not hold a
location to retaliate against. Kent concludes by calling for nuclear free
security based on justice and friendship.
Skinner, a British labor MP begins by
referring to the similarities between the CND Aldermaston
marches in the 1960s and them to take place on February 27th.
Skinner identifies Britain’s armament as hypocritical as attempts to disarm
Iran, amongst other, stating ‘We are calling upon nations [to disarm]… why
don’t we?’.
100 reasons
for pro-disarmament published in the run to the UN’s National Day Of Peace
include:
54. because many nuclear weapons today would
explode with up to 100 times the force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
50. because nuclear weapons cannot deter
terrorism.
27. because if we don't, nuclear weapons will
continue to proliferate.
7. because it will make the world safer for
our children and grandchildren - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Pro-Nuclear
Weapons
“1.
Global Defense
Nuclear weapons are likely key deterrents to major wars
flaring up and acts of aggression by rogue nations. With such power behind
them, nations that have nuclear weapons are far less likely to be attacked by
another nation, even if that other nation also has a nuclear arsenal. The
better a nation can defend itself, the more likely it is that no one will want
to risk going against them and that results in more peacetime. This fact also
makes it easier for diplomatic talks to work out since no one really wants to
get into a conflict that can end with nuclear weapons.
2. Power Supply
Nations that have nuclear weapons can benefit from the
power and status that comes with the territory. As small and insignificant as
many view North Korea to be in certain ways, other nations pay attention to
their actions and wishes since they have a large fighting force and a small
amount of nuclear weapons. No one wants their homeland to experience a nuclear
weapon attack and most nations will do whatever they can to avoid any conflict
that may lead to one. This makes it better for communication and the
willingness to listen to one another.
3. War Deterrent
Smaller nations can stand a chance of defending
themselves against larger nations that have more money and military
capabilities when the have nuclear weapons. This can increase the peace and
make it less likely that certain nations will get bullied or invaded. Alliances
have this same affect when a nation that has nuclear weapons is allied with
nations that do not have them. The protection that non-nuclear capable nations
can have from nations that are capable has prevented many conflicts over the
years that could have went badly.
The number of nations that have the resources and
ability to create nuclear weapons is high enough to where nations that already
have these weapons want to hold on to some of them. If a nation that has a
dangerous leader wants to make new nuclear weapons, it is logical for some
other nation to have their own weapons that can face that threat. Removing
every single nuclear weapon from the earth can leave an opening for some
combative nation or group to build their own and pose a real risk to others.”

OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / Peter Kennard
Peter Kennard
Peter Kennard, an artist who has a portfolio
of anti-nuclear agenda driven imagery, judges the CND brief. A collation of his works taken from the TATE's collection below shows the use of photomontage to communicate a CND agenda. Wit, wordplay and irony communicated through the appropriation of imagery can be seen in Decoration 1982, the image shows a boat being blown upon in replace of a medal pendant - addressing the light and shrapnel seen as decoration; contradictory to the decoration usually associated with the obtaining of medals due to honour and achievement of war service.
"Peter Kennard is a London-based artist, recently described by The Guardian as "a living hero of pacifist photomontage". He is senior tutor in photography at the Royal College of Art and his work is in many major collections, including Tate, the V&A and the Imperial War Museum. His work has been published in numerous publications including The Guardian, The Observer, Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Scotsman, New Statesman and Time Magazine."
OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / CND - Peace Symbol
 |
| Designed in 1958 for CND by Gerald Holtom. The CND symbol has been appropriated to represent peace. |
 |
| Gerald Holtom notes one of two origins of the symbol as a representation of that similar to Goya's Peasant;a man in despair with his arms outstretched. |
 |
| The second of the two origins of the symbol came from flag semaphore, a communication system based upon visual positions. A mergence of N and D represented nuclear disarmament. |
 |
| The logo is not copyrighted therefore commercial use if unrestricted. |
 |
| An archive of Holtom's original sketches are available in close proximity to Leeds College Of Art. |
 |
| 'The first badges were made by Eric Austen of Kensington CND using white clay with the symbol painted black. Again there was a conscious symbolism. They were distributed with a note explaining that in the event of a nuclear war, these fired pottery badges would be among the few human artefacts to survive the nuclear inferno.' |
OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / Existing CND Visual Communication
A selection of CND visual communication are freely available to any who wish to be involved in local activities, demonstrations and general support here, the agenda driven content includes a selection of posters, logos and other imagery in various formats to help support the cause.
The democratised access to such material is common with agenda driven causes as financial gain isn't a motive, the strength of the visual communication reflects an 'amatuer' appeal; design isn't the greatest consideration here. It is my belief that the strengthening of the agenda's visual communication would benefit the cause through greater collation of supporters, understanding and a general improvement of communicating the cause.

| The open source material is available to anyone interested in various formats. |

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament marches back into public arena after years of decline
By Andy McSmith for The Independent Friday 29 January
2016
More than three decades have passed since
the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament had a following large enough to bring
traffic in central London to a halt, and fill the streets with banner-waving ( Banners have been prolific in public protests due to their ease of production, practical storing and unfolding as well as the ability to be large and seen at a distance ) protesters united in their belief that the UK should renounce
nuclear weapons.
The movement hit its peak on Saturday 22
October 1983, when supporters in their thousands poured into Hyde Park, urged
on by 2.3 million advertisements fly-posted (Fly-Posters have been a method of distribution of agenda driven material due to its temporariness, ease of use, cheapness and technical ease which allows the common man to do so) by CND activists ahead of the event urging them to “be there”.
Jeremy Corbyn risks splitting his party
further with new role at CND.
The crowd heard from a succession of
eminent speakers, including the fiery new leader of the Labour Party, Neil
Kinnock. Scotland Yard estimated that the crowd numbered 200,000. The
organisers claimed 300,000.
For all their enthusiasm, the marchers had
no impact at all on government policy. The land-based missiles to which they
objected were taken away years later, not because of objectors, but under an
international agreement. The Trident missiles are still carried in submarines,
though there’s now a debate as to whether they should be renewed.
CND may have slipped off the news
bulletins, but it never went out of existence. Bruce Kent, the former Roman
Catholic priest who was a public face of the 1980s protest, still calls into
CND’s north London headquarters a couple of times a week. The coming month will
see several events designed to get CND back in the public eye, culminating in a
rally in Trafalgar Square on 27 February where the main speaker will be Jeremy
Corbyn. Organisers are expecting
50,000 or more.
Kate Hudson, long-serving CND general secretary,
was a face in the crowd at the 1980s Hyde Park rally. “It was very exciting,”
she said. “Those big demonstrations were my first experience of collective
resolve. I have a very clear memory of one of those large demonstrations in
Hyde Park. I remember seeing in the distance the little white shirt that was
Monsignor Bruce Kent. I met him years later: it’s amazing to meet one of your
heroes face to face.
“Then there was the fear factor. We felt
that with cruise missiles coming, the Soviets and the US were gearing up to
fight their nuclear war in Europe. Now people are thinking more about what is
our security threat today. They think it’s terrorism, climate change, pandemic
and cyber-crime, and are asking why are we spending potentially £183bn on something
that doesn’t appear to have any military utility.”
Also working in CND’s favour is the shift
in the political landscape, summed up in two words – Jeremy Corbyn. He stuck
with CND during the wilderness years. One of his roles was as chairman of Labour
CND. In 2014 he was confirmed in that position at an annual meeting that drew
fewer than 50 supporters.
The next annual meeting takes place today.
This time they have had to book a hall for 150 to 200 delegates. They will hear
from Diane Abbott, the shadow International Secretary, and the first serving
member of a shadow cabinet to address Labour CND for more than 30 years. Mr
Corbyn will stand down as chairman to be replaced by Walter Wolfgang, a
92-year-old who escaped from Nazi Germany and was one of the founders of CND,
nearly 60 years ago.
In 1957 the UK exploded a nuclear bomb.
This inspired the launch of CND, with the philosopher Bertrand Russell as its
president and the Labour MP Michael Foot as a prominent member.
But people became accustomed to living with
the bomb. CND almost vanished until Margaret Thatcher decided to purchase
updated Trident missiles from the US, and to allow the Americans to place
cruise missiles at Greenham Common.
Between 1980 and 1984, CND membership
swelled from around 4,500 to more than 100,000. Under Michael Foot’s
leadership, unilateral nuclear disarmament became official Labour Party policy.
But when disarmament talks between the superpowers began in the mid-1980s, CND
again went into decline. Unilateralism was a vote loser. Neil Kinnock let his
CND membership lapse as he fought a long, successful battle to reverse party
policy.
Ian Chamberlain, CND’s spokesman, said:
“The 1980s veterans have always been the core membership, but we now have a
very large number of young people who were brought into politics by Jeremy
Corbyn. During the Labour leadership election we were getting hundreds of new
members each month. Success is closer than ever”.

OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / Brief
Campaign
for Nuclear Disarmament / D&AD Monotype
Brief:
Create an A2 design to be used as a placard
at the demonstration in London on the 27th Of February.
The design needs (see blue highlight):
“On the 27th February thousands will descend on London to protest against government plans to spend over £100
billion on replacing Trident, the UK's nuclear weapons system.”
Placard designs have defined movements for more than a
century of protest. Placards, and the slogans
they carry, attempt to distill political ambitions into
simple and clear messages. That's why good designs are remembered, why
they help change opinion, build support in the general population, and put
political pressure on the government to change course.”
Peter Kennard, an artist who has a
portfolio of anti-nuclear agenda driven imagery, judges the brief.
The purpose of the placard is to
communicate the agenda of the march, it is to simply convey the disarmament
message however there are several narratives in which the design could do this.
Selecting a narrative which holds the most resonance with the regular,
currently not agenda driven, person grants the best chance of gaining
supporters, creating a stronger force and subsequently creating a greater
pressure upon government decision.
This focus could be one of the several;
· Focusing on the £100 million cost of the
program as a negative or how this could be otherwise spent.
· Focusing upon the negativity and destruction
associated with nuclear armament.
· Focusing upon the positivity of disarmament
– Nearer to peace / United world.
D&AD Monotype Brief
Considerations:
The design of the placard will be seen at
the demonstration when held above a demonstrator’s head. Imagery and live
footage of the event may too capture the placards, the design is to adhere to
this viewing from distance by being relatively simply and legible.
OUGD603 / CND & D&AD / Ken Garland
"Even if I hadn’t been on the very first Easter March (yes, the one that ended up in that awful muddy field outside the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Aldermaston) and become a devoted adherent to the campaign, it would have been quite impossible to refuse anything to the late Peggy Duff, the Organising Secretary of CND. Though she never had a penny to offer me, she was my most inspiring and endearing client, and I was always ready to bust a gut whenever she got us on the blower with yet another all-but-impossible task."
 |
| "This photograph of a child looking out of a window was used for a CND poster entitled SAY NO. It was also reproduced as a leaflet, of which 500,000 were printed and distributed during the Easter March of 1963." Note the use of full caps in 'SAY NO' as well as the use of the CND/Peace symbol as an 'O'. |
 |
| Various banners outside of Barbara Castle in 1963 show a location followed by Y.C.N.D (Youth Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament). Note the use of full caps created with the use of a stencil as a reflection of the accessibility of the production method - anyone could do it! |
 |
| A negative crop of the CND/Peace symbol; Garland's use of Britain's silhouette within the symbol reflects the mentality of the event; Britain's hope of ND. |
 |
| Again using the CND/Peace symbol alongside a full capitalised font design by Ken Garland and Associates, the repetition of the symbol can be seen as representation of the 1962 march; a movement of peace. |
