The InFINITe PARAdoX
In the vastness of outer space, Black is the ultimate expanse—endless, boundless, and the very definition of the unknown. Yet in design, we are conditioned to battle with white space, to fill the emptiness, and to create within the constraints of light. But what if our understanding of space—both literal and conceptual—has been flawed all along?
If Black, or darkness, is truly the absence of light, does that mean it doesn’t really exist? And if darkness doesn’t exist, then what is the meaning of light or white? Without contrast, white becomes meaningless. In science, in psychology, in design—Black is more than a void. It absorbs, defines, and gives form. It is the infinite stage upon which everything else exists.
As designers, do we find a deeper sense of peace when designing in Black? Does Black unlock a different level of creativity, where form, contrast, and meaning emerge in ways that white cannot contain? This competition invites designers to challenge conventions, embrace the unknown, and redefine the relationship between Black, space, and design itself.

If Black is nothingness, then perhaps it is also everything.
Are you ready to create within the infinite paradox?

Your challenge is to conceptualize and design a poster that captures the profound and paradoxical essence of Black. Is Black the ultimate void, or the foundation of all creation? Does it represent absence, or does it define everything around it?
Transport viewers into a realm where Black is not merely a color but a force—absorbing, shaping, and challenging perceptions. Let your poster explore the depths of Black as the infinite unknown, the source of contrast, and the catalyst for new discoveries.
