GraPHIC ART & ILLUSTRATION
THE WALL OF TRUMPS
In 2017 a group of young designers came together to put on a local exhibition in Hereford called Viro based around the word environment. We wanted to use this opportunity to comment on the social environment surrounding Donald Trump’s 2016 election using our design skills and humour. The aim of this illustrated project was to visualise some of Trumps controversial comments and opinions and by doing so, start a conversation about his presidency. The Viro exhibition consisted of nine trumps creating The Wall of Trumps and was well received by the public and gave us that opportunity to discuss ‘Trump’ with people both for and against his election.
Original Nine:
SUPER TRUMP | TRUMPY THE CLOWN | NAZI TRUMP
EL TRUMPO | PRESIDENT TRUMP | WALL BUILDER TRUMP
I’M A REAL TRUMP | HOOKER TRUMP | TRUMP SUPPORTER TRUMP
The Wall of Trumps slowly grew into its own brand spawning merchandise, posters, infographics and even more illustrated Trumps each time he made a controversial comment or offended a minority group.
Series Two:
GOLFER TRUMP | TWEETY TRUMP |
KLANSMAN TRUMP | RUSSIAN TRUMP
This project was a part of our Final Major Project during our third year of university and was exhibited as part of HCA Synthesis 2018.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE WALL
SUPER TRUMP
EL TRUMPO
I'M A REAL TRUMP
We depicted Trump as a puppet to enforce the idea that maybe he is just a front man, a puppet for the Republican Party to use and manipulate? If only his nose grew with each lie like Pinocchio’s!
GOLFER TRUMP
RUSSIAN TRUMP
TRUMPY THE CLONE
PRESIDENT TRUMP
HOOKER TRUMP
TWEETY TRUMP
KLANSMAN TRUMP
We chose to dress Trump in a tradition Klansman’s robe in response to his refusal to condemn the Klan’s and other alt-right groups views regarding race and religion. Including their involvement in the Charlottesville rally riots in 2017.
