The “Design Journeys-You Are Here”:/aiga.org/content.cfm/exhibit-design-journeys project seeks to achieve both—by not only celebrating the lives and achievements of 25 selected practitioners, but also encouraging aspiring designers from all backgrounds to consider design as a viable and rewarding career. The resulting show, an interactive exhibition open to the public, will be on display at the AIGA National Design Center May 20 through July 23.

The 11th edition of the International Biennial of the Poster in Mexico invited Rebeca Méndez to be one of 100 designers and artists participating in the collection ‘Voices in Freedom.’ Méndez’s artwork, Circumpolar created in collaboration with her life partner and writer Adam Eeuwens, moves beyond political and national boundaries and focuses on the circumpolar flight of the arctic tern, who travels from the North Pole to the South Pole and back again, from Boreal Summer to Austral Summer, traversing 520 kilometers a day, 70,900 kilometers total. The arctic tern lives the most daylight of any creature in the world.

BANANAS! is a documentary film about the disturbing global politics of the banana, the incredible gap between our world and what we call the third world, scientific choices, corporate behaviour, and about the very food we eat.

Rebeca Méndez is the creative director and designer of the visual identity for BANANAS!, and in particular responsible for the asterisk behind the title. See project HERE
