From graphic design's earliest beginnings the poster has been an influential tool. Advances in technology and printing techniques have meant that the poster has become a powerful medium for the dissemination of propaganda to the masses.

Today however, the work of the graphic designer is so much a part of our everyday lives, so ingrained, that its influence can often seem invisible and we take it all for granted.

In 2010, during Icograda Design Week in Brisbane, we have the opportunity as an industry to break stereotypes and show the Australian public that we are creative communicators, design thinkers, and that we belong to a profession that is a positive contributor to the economy and a catalyst for social change.

Following the Design Week theme of Optimism, the 2010 AGDA Poster Annual asks you to challenge the notion that design is only about beautiful things and show that design has a greater value and it is in this value that design can effect real change.

Finalists will have their posters showcased at an exhibition during Icorgada Design Week Brisbane.
