Today we create quickly, consume even faster, and too often mistake software proficiency for creative thinking or design skill. Digital tools make everything appear effortless; they create the illusion that ideas emerge instantly and that the medium will resolve the design for us. This exhibition is the outcome of a semester-long project developed by the Fall 2025 LdM Graphic Design students. Through a manual workshop in silkscreen and letterpress printing, the course offered a deliberate pause, an analog break designed to rebuild confidence in using simple, centuries-old printing techniques. Students were asked to communicate meaning through symbolism, metaphor, and visual tension: searching for direction (Find Your Way), examining the overlap between digital and physical identity (Blurred Realities), or reflecting on personal development (Grow Beyond the Screen). To reach these outcomes, they began with hand-drawn sketches, moved into vector refinement, and then returned to the physical world to print the final work. This analog detour is not about nostalgia or rejecting technology. It is a reminder that design is built on decisions, intent, and the ability to communicate through form, concept, and metaphor, long before any software gets involved.
