Course details
What defines a national identity? Is it an anthem, a flag, a logo, or an icon? How do these elements shape who we are? In the 1960s and 70s, these questions were answered by an innovative group of Canadian designers, who used design to unify the nation. Design Canada is the first documentary chronicling the history of Canadian graphic design and how it shaped a nation and its people. Review the history of the iconic maple leaf, find out how events such as Expo 67 Montréal and the 1976 Olympic Games impacted design, and discover where today's most influential designer think the future of Canadian design lies.
