Yesterday was a very sad day as gunmen shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, in an apparent militant Islamist attack. Four of the magazine’s well-known cartoonists, including its editor, were among those killed, as well as two police officers.

In response to this tragic event designers and artists from around the world created posters to show their support and to advocate for the importance of freedom of expression.

The posters featured in this post were designed (in order of appearance) by:

• Utpal Pande
• Rob McPhie
• Lucille Clerc
• Gary Taxali
• Tomasso Marcolla
• Yossi Lemel
• Marco Tóxico
• Mattia Compagnucci
• Yannis Fetanis
• Juan Miranda
• Dario Cruz
• Luis Rutz
• Panagiotis Metallinos
• David Criado
• Marija Gavrilovic
• Lauren Rolwing
• Juan Martín García
• Pantelis Moustache Toutounopoulos

In an self-initiative proposed by Lucas López to produce posters under the premise “The poster should be a wild scream against what happened. It should be spontaneous, almost without thinking.” we received the following posters (continuing the order of appearance):

• Alejandro Magallanes
• JPBellini
• Martin Laksman
• Néstor Díaz
• Hernán Berdichevsky (de su serie El Ícono de la Semana)
• Fabián Carreras
• Claudio Márquez
• Roberto García Balza
• Lucas López (3)
• Max Rompo (3)
• Sael (2)

Please share to support and if you have created a poster about this please share it with us!
