D-generades
Break established patterns.
D-Generades is an annual project promoted by the Barcelona Design Hub that, in each edition, proposes a critical reflection on the connections between design and society. In 2025, the theme focuses on the dialogue between fashion and masculinities, questioning the cultural and aesthetic codes that have historically defined gender representations. The graphic proposal for this edition articulates a visual discourse that explores the friction generated when dominant cultural systems are destabilized, revealing both collective discomfort and symbolic resistance to what is new and disruptive. On a conceptual level, the campaign works with the notion of semiotic tension: a confrontation between traditional legibility and the construction of a visual language that challenges the spectator’s passive gaze. In this way, the graphic system is not limited to communicating a message but demands a degree of active participation, requiring the decoding and reconfiguration of habitual perceptual structures. In formal terms, the typographic strategy focuses on the rupture of linearity and the alteration of reading hierarchies. The design unfolds through a dual plane of interaction: MACRO PERCEPTION, in which the title and central concept emerge as dominant elements, allowing an immediate understanding of the theme. MICRO PERCEPTION, where fragmentation and intentional disorder generate a space for exploration, requiring attention, effort, and visual engagement to access the complete content. The result is a campaign that transforms discomfort into an aesthetic tool, using dissonance as a critical resource and proposing a graphic language that not only communicates but also performs the experience of questioning what is established.
