Editor’s Note The definition of “remarque” is a small, personalized drawing or symbol that an artist adds (near his or her signature) on a print. It is a personalized touch that adds value and uniqueness to the piece. When creating a name for FAU’s first visual annual publication, Remarque seemed appropriate considering we are leaving our personalized mark with the creation of this magazine and adding value to the University’s downtown visual programs. The inspiration to create a visual annual came from Coastlines, FAU’s literary magazine. Coastlines has been around for over 40 years so we felt it was only right that the downtown visual programs have their own outlet and ultimately create their own legacy though a publication. The most important step in my eyes was promoting Remarque, raising awareness around campus, and encouraging students to submit. Without great work it’d be impossible to have a great visual journal. After 3 months of promo we had over 500 submissions by 150 students we juried the work down to 150 pieces created by 40 students. I hope you enjoy Remarque. Dan Duarte Editor-in-Chief

As an artist, my goal is to challenge my audience with the thoughts and messages that I myself have been most affected by. My main strategy for accomplishing this is through the use of typography. In the hopes

Designers’ Edge Logo Contest In the fall of 2011 the members of Designers’ Edge decided to sponsor a competition for a new logo. The contest was open to all members of the group. Johanna Björk, a FAU graphic design alumni and past president of Designers’ Edge, served as the juror. Johanna was a natural choice considering she designed a previous version of logo and has enjoyed a successful design career since graduation. Samples of her work can be seen at www.johannabjork.se/.
Winner Dan Duarte Juror’s Comments Motivation: It’s a good mix of simple and dynamic. The symbol and the type work well together, but are also strong enough to stand on their own. There’s a nice, subtle “edge”-reference that I think works well. I’d be interested to see how color can be used to bring this to the next level.
Runner Up Tia Day Juror’s Comments Motivation: Clever ambigram, works well without loosing readability.
Honorable Mention John Bernasconi Juror’s Comments Motivation: Enjoy seeing some (sharp-edged) tools of the trade incorporated.

Designers’ Edge Poster Contest There’s pretty much two schools of thought in design: “do more with less” and “do more with more.” This was the objective behind Designers’ Edge’s first poster design contest. The contest was juried by James Klutez, Creative Director of Brand Tango. www.brand-tango.com
Do more with less
more
Design is everything and nothing; it is subtle yet bold, it is discreet but direct. Good design invokes a reaction! It must stand out but at the same time blend into the background. It is apparent to those who seek it and transparent to those who do not. The Designers’ Edge student group endeavors to promote and share the power of graphic design, and to explore the influence that it has on our daily lives. Through juried exhibitions, guest lectures, and special promotions we raise awareness about the purpose and meaning of graphic design. We wish to inspire not only graphic designers and visual artists, but the general population as well. The effect of graphic design extends through all facets of our existence; it affects our feelings, our thoughts, and our beliefs. It is what we create that defines our perceptions of the world around us. We hope to inspire everybody to take a closer look, to join in the dialogue, and to take an active role in defining our world.

Life Just Is Poster Contest
The independent film Life Just Is launched a competition inviting applicants to submit designs for our lead poster. From February 7 – 21, 2011 the entries were simultaneously shortlisted by a panel of industry experts and a public vote run on the movie’s Facebook page. The ultimate winner was decided by
Director Alex Barrett and producers Tom Stuart and Christine Hartland. As part of a graphic design project, FAU Professor Eric Landes had his Typography class design submit entries for the competition. Five out of nine shortlisted entries were from Landes’ students as well as the winner Soledad Del Real.
