Crises occur both in personal environments and in a global context. Crises can represent turning points or climaxes of a conflict – but they can also come disguised in the cloak of everyday life. In any case, a crisis acts like a magnifying glass, amplifying problems and conflicts.

form 288 explores the question of how design can be part of the solution and not the problem.

This issue examines this complex social topic from various design perspectives, presents attempts at solutions, and introduces personalities who bravely face personal and political crises.
From apocalyptic end-of-days looks from science fiction films to graphic design that helps with tsunamis and earthquakes, we offer insight into a world that, while not offering simple solutions, provides diverse potentials.
