Keynote
Iron Fists
In his latest book, Iron Fists, Steven focuses on the use and abuse of type and image in the service of four totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. Each one used branding techniques to impress its respective ideologies and images on the masses. Join Steven as he discusses how power is communicated through graphic design and offers a double dose of communication strategy and the history that proves its effectiveness.
