The challenge was

Submit a design inspired by the theme Shatter Rupture Break

A century ago, the world experienced tremendous change as a cultural shift into modernism produced a profoundly new understanding of society and life.

Advancements in technology and the global effect of World War I resulted in conflicting feelings of exhilaration and anxiety, and traditional ideals were questioned, overturned, and reinvented. As artists responded to this revolutionary age, a central theme of fragmentation and rupture emerged in their work. Kicking off our new, ongoing series with the Art Institute, this challenge encourages you to create a design inspired by the notion of Shatter Rupture Break.

Challenge conventional methods of depth and illusionism like artist Robert Delaunay, explore unexpected collage techniques like artist George Grosz, or reimagine the fractured self like artist Hans Bellmer. Design in any style you see fit, as long as you use the theme to drive your idea. Seek inspiration from the exhibition to create an original design that shatters our expectations, ruptures the norm, breaks free of tradition.
