Design & illustrations

Coercive In/Justice logo, illustrations, and website design are by Christie Nicoson (c) 2024. The imagery, colours, and style evoke emotion and memory we associate with ideas of conflict, peace and themes in phenomenology.

Teal represents a connected head and heart, close to blue, the colour of communication; purple represents power, often in connection with a higher sense, creativity or curiosity, and is used in social movements for peace and prevention of violence against women. The watercolour and sketch style plays with hard and soft textures, dualisms reflected in imagery of moss and rock walls, too. Mosses are both delicate and resilient; easily uprooted, but species have been found for hundreds of millions of years on every continent of earth. Rocks are created over time and histories of sedimentation, but are also subject to rupture or erosion. Piled together, rocks remind us of peace walls and of barriers that divide. The pairing of moss and stones speak to tensions of peace and violence, and women’s resilience to harm and their strength in overcoming barriers.
