Yesterday was a sad day as the world lost one of the best poster designers in Venezuela.  Juan Carlos Darias used the platform of the poster to help his country and the world to be a better place.  We at Poster Poster will miss him dearly. Our condolences go out to his friends and family during this tough times. We would like to share with you some of Juan’s posters as a way to celebrate the life of this great human being.

“Si no estás dispuesto a mojarte, no camines bajo la lluvia; si no corres riesgos, si no vives plenamente, difícilmente serás un buen comunicador, mucho menos un buen diseñador. En nuestro oficio, la actividad de campo es fundamental; no te conformes con ser un profesional que sólo contempla e interpreta la realidad que ve a través de una pantalla o desde una ventana, no olvides nunca que en la acción está la esencia de todo buen diseño.” — Juan Carlos Darias (1961-2015)

“If you are not willing to get wet, then do not walk under the rain; if you do not take risks, if you do not live a fulfilling life, you will hardly be a good communicator, much less a good designer. In our profession, fieldwork is fundamental; do not settle by being a professional who only contemplates and interprets the reality that he or she sees through a screen or a window, never forget that the essence of every good design lies in action.” — Juan Carlos Darias (1961-2015)
