Despite widespread street protests and social media activism, there are dark times for free thinkers. The current Administration’s cuts to the arts, education, social programs, and eliminations of environmental, employment, and civil rights protections is what happens when its political leaders decide to run a nation as a business, rather than for the needs of its people.

As a result, life becomes tougher for working families, and anyone who appreciates or works in the arts.

Yet FAU offers a glimmer of hope, and in an unlikely place. In 2012, Remarque released its first issue showcasing the FAU Broward creative programs.

Remarque is distributed across all FAU campuses.

This student publication is made possible by support from the Broward Campus Administration and Broward Student Government. These funds do more than just support this publication, they make it possible for students to display their best work, while emphasizing the idea that Design, Architecture, Studio Art, and Film, Video & New Media are accessible to everyone.

No stranger to political statements, Brian Singer is a San Francisco-based graphic designer. His works focus on sociopolitical issues such as homelessness, gun violence, and lobbying. Remarque was fortunate to interview Brian Singer and have him jury the Graphic Design and Art & Photography submissions. More information on Singer and his work is available at: www.someguy.is The 2016 issue was not produced. As a result, this issue accepted entries created between Fall 2015 and Fall 2016. With over 400 submitted entries, Remarque is proof that Art and Design are an integral part of FAU’s student body. This publication would not be possible without its diligent staff, professors, and the participation of FAU’s ingenious students.

There are over 100 works on this issue. Each of them represents the patience, focus, and willingness of creative individuals. Despite the current political culture, Remarque will continue to push forward to pursue creativity, acceptance, diversity, and the tenacity of the human spirit.

Enjoy it.

BRIAN SINGER

Brian Singer is a San Francisco-based artist and designer for the likes of Pinterest, Apple, Adidas, Facebook, and others. When he is not designing, Singer is gaining international notoriety for his endeavors on publications including The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Wall Street Journal. The 1000 Journals Project, which is now a book and a feature-length film, was exhibited in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. In 2013, Singer joined The American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) National Board. Prior to, he served as President of the AIGA San Francisco chapter. Singer is now focusing on creating and exhibiting his fine art pieces. We had the opportunity to ask him a few questions, here is what he had to say:

What artist/designer inspired you within your field?

I’ve always been a fan of Tibor Kalman’s work. He passed away in 1999, but his wit and conceptual rigor help shaped the way I approach design today.

What would you be doing if you were not designing?

Ha. I’m actually doing it right now... being an artist. I’m taking a break from design (I left Pinterest several months ago) and am dedicating some time to side projects. No plan, no goals, just to see where it takes me.

What is the best moment of your professional experience so far?

I don’t think there’s a single one that stands out. I do think, as sad as it might sound, that some of my happiest moments are when the client chose the direction I felt was right (and then allowed me to execute it properly). It’s a rare moment, but sure does bring a smile to my face.

How do you measure success?

It’s changed over the years. When I first graduated college, I had a goals list. Silly things, like “Get into Communication Arts” and “Make $35,000 a year”. For each goal I was able to achieve, two more sprouted up. I spent a lot of years chasing those goals, without really understanding why (except that I thought it was what I wanted). Right now, I’m in one of those moments where I’m taking stock of what makes me happy, and what provides meaning in my life. If I can be happy and feel fulfilled, than that’s success.

What advice would you give design students?

Reevaluate your heroes. Oh, and being good with people/ business will get you farther in life than being a great designer.

What is your design process?

I generally start with a lot of questions, in an attempt to understand the problem that needs solving, the audience and limitations like budget, timing, etc. From there, I do research to get a feel for the competitive landscape, or to learn about the market (like if you’re doing work for a medical device company, it’s important to understand the industry and their audience). And after that, it’s brainstorm/sketching time, where ideas are created, tested, torn apart, and recreated. Once I have several solid ideas to pursue, I’ll jump into visual design, where some of the ideas die. And finally, I like to present multiple solutions, each distinctive in focus (meaning, one solution might focus on one product feature, while another might highlight the emotional benefit, etc.). The reason for doing this is to aid in decision making by the client, who often can’t evaluate good design, but will likely have an opinion that focusing on emotional benefit is the right solution.

There also might be testing or user feedback, depending on what’s being designed. And of course, there’s evaluation of the work afterwards, to understand what worked and what didn’t, so next time it can be better.

That all sort of make sense? It’s more complicated than that, and each project is different, but generally that’s it.

On the jurying process… …Jurying is difficult, because there’s a lot of strong work, but in the end, I’m picking only one piece, and that’s often based on personal biases. In a perfect world, worked is evaluated based on how well it achieves stated objectives, with a target audience (but judges rarely have that information with which to evaluate work, and most student projects aren’t set up that way anyway). So, to all the students, congratulations, this is great work and you should be proud. What I’ve selected are my personal picks, and I bet if there was a different judge, they’d select different pieces for entirely different reasons.

ARCHITECTURE

Jordy Virguetti Modular Hotel: Integrating Nature Sketchup, Photoshop, Illustrator, 2016

Spiral gardens connect public spaces through the growth and decay of nature.

Passage between the transient and synthetic is celebrated by the parasitic nature of the spider fittings that latch onto the building and allow different opportunities to harbor and nurture new infestation. Through the process of growth and decay, nature will enter the building through a penetrable silicone film. This dynamic insulation allows for a suitable environment for incoming and outgoing growth; maintained by the use of colored LED lights and misting system.

Emily Peters Hydrology of Spongecity Rhino and Illustrator, 2016 Sea level rise is a pressing concern in the South Florida region. In order to propose innovative architectural solutions a basic understanding of the local hydrology is required. This drawing represents research and analysis of tidal conditions, flood zones, and the rising water table present in North Beach Village in Fort Lauderdale.
