Conflict reshapes lives, cultures, and nations, but even in its shadow, creativity endures.

In this issue, we explore how designers from countries touched by current wars continue to create, adapt, and express themselves. From posters to digital experiments, each work reflects resilience, identity, and the unbreakable role of Graphic Design as a universal language.

GRUNAAD 4 is not about politics. It is about people. About the ways in which design persists, inspires, and gives voice, even when the world around is uncertain.

The issue will feature designers from nations currently affected by conflict, presented with neutrality and respect.

For this edition, we’re expanding the stage. Alongside our main featured designers and in-depth interviews, GRUNAAD 4 will also showcase works from a wider selection of voices in the design community. Expect to see 20+ additional designers included in curated showcase spreads, giving space to emerging and established talent alike.
