Themester 2023’s focus on “Light and Truth | Lux et Veritas” provided inspiration for students and recent alums.
Each year, Themester’s broad theme provides IU designers with opportunity and challenge. Read more about each designer's creative process below.
"Nature is very certain of itself; it knows only truth...In my design, I knew I wanted to point to nature."
"To me, truth can be interpreted in so many different ways, but I took it to be like scientific truth like facts and data...with light and truth, I automatically think about the stars and galaxies."
"I knew immediately that if there was one era of graphic design that I wanted to focus on that has to do with space, it’s definitely that midcentury-modern atompunk design."
"I made my poster very digital, very matrix or retro analog inspired because we get so much of our information through computing systems."
"The stained-glass window really resonated with me because for the longest time, even now, they’ve been used to tell stories."
"I wanted to still show that...there will never be full darkness in this world, that there will still be light shining through because of people who search for it."
"I thought, ‘what if I take the source of light away and have what’s left behind — the light itself.’"
