Poster Monday: Right to Water

For this new edition of Poster Monday we have a poster from the talented Octavio Martino, a graphic designer based in Cordoba, Argentina. He was born in a tiny tiny town called Los Cisnes. “At the end of my street a wheat field began. Or corn, depends on the season. When was time to college, I moved to the city of Córdoba and studied Biology, Arts and (finally) Graphic Design. A few years ago I moved to the suburbs to get more in touch with nature. I got mountains, trees and birds now” tell us Octavio. His work was published in many books and magazines worldwide such as Communication Arts, Taschen, Rockport, How, DGV Berlin, among others, and exhibited in several countries as well.

The poster we are featuring here today is called “Right to Water” In 2019, the government of the city of Mendoza tried to change law 7722, to take privileges from water use and to be allowed to spread cyanide in it. So citizens and activists took the streets to complain. A design collective began to create artworks and spread them on the internet to visualize the problem, and invited other designers to submit their proposals too. It is not a coincidence that Mendoza has been the focus of this situation.

The province was originally a desert. It was thanks to engineering works such as the construction of irrigation ditches that brought water from rivers that Mendoza became a productive hub for fruits, vegetables and, above all, vineyards that made the country famous throughout the world. “My work process is often the same: I start reading quite about the subject until I got it clear and, once I get the idea, I try to mix different contexts to create a whole new situation (in this case, a well and a padlock). The new “object” or scenario must look natural. I don´t want it to look forced” say Octavio.

Since the early 1990s Javier tells us that is lucky to work on what he like most, making Graphic Design. “If it had not been for the design, I would have been a frightening musician. I love music. Poster is absolutely my great passion. The famous fist in the eye; of admiration with Cassandre, Fukuda and Milston Glaser. I do not exercise it professionally. But it is always my point of attention in any aspect of visual communication”.

Poster Monday: Hate

For June’s first Poster Monday spot we are featuring a poster designed by Juan Miranda from Buenos Aires, Argentina entitled “Hate”. Juan is a 46 years old graphic designer, also graphic design professor at FADU/Universidad de Buenos Aires since 1999.

The poster featured above entitled “Hate” tries to make visible something disguised; this poster is about how social networking sometimes spread hate, how human communication which should bring us all together can become the opposite, when hashtags become hate symbols. The poster is an attempt to point the fact that social networking sometimes is Unsocial and a vehicle of violence. “I think poster design is central to graphic design, it’s the ultimate design object because of its complexity, because it evolves common good, being an individual object that can become property of the many in terms of meaning and relevance” says Juan.

Remember to submit your posters to be featured in our coming editions of Poster Monday.

Poster Monday: To love / To struggle / To live

Poster Monday: To love / To struggle / To live

The first Poster Monday spot of September belongs to Onarie Graphic Collective from Argentina for the poster entitled “To love / To struggle / To live”. Onaire Graphic Collective was formed in 2007 by five graphic designers who graduated from the School of Architecture, Design and Town Planning at the University of Buenos Aires. The members of the collective are Mariana Campo Lagorio, Gabriel M. Lopatín, Gabriel Mahia, Sebastián Puy and Natalia Volpe. They cannot think about their work dissociated from their responsibility as social actors, and it is through the design of posters that they put it in practice. The group has developed their own working method which they call “Guiso Gráfico” (Graphic Stew), and their favorite topics are related with 
history, social and cultural reality.

The poster “To love / To struggle / To live” was created for a competition called “Changing Genres Roles Perception in Latin America”. The poster emphasizes the role of Latin American women. The designers use Marian iconography, strongly popular in Latin culture, to restate their active stance and views of the struggle and their social claims. Onaire believes that if there is much to say there will be plenty to draw. And putting in an image that needs to be heard happens to have the strength of a scream. In this case, that expression is collective.

If you would like to know more about Onaire Graphic Collective you can visit their web page and behance account.

Poster Monday:  “For Rene”

Poster Monday:  “For Rene”

The first Poster Monday spot of August goes to Juan Miranda for the poster “For Rene”. Juan is a 44 year old graphic designer who graduated at Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1999 where he also teaches graphic design as an Adjunct professor. He was born and lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina and works at MoscaOchenta, a small graphic design studio focused in branding, editorial design and postage stamps design.

The  poster “For Rene” is the homage that Juan did for our dear friend Rene Wanner and tells us about it, “I tried to find the singularity of a common object related with posters: a wooden clip. I began with this question “What object, thing, can talk about Rene Wanner?” This object should refer to posters, and say something about posters too. That’s when I remembered the wood clip which made me ask “If Rene were a clip, THE CLIP, how this clip would look like? What’d make extraordinary this ordinary and common thing, because if Rene were a clip it wouldn’t be common at all. I figured out that the answer to this should come out of the the clip string retainer, which shape reminded me a folded poster.

“As a graphic designer i think poster design is the field of graphic design that better fulfills communication by connecting people, enhancing culture by new meanings and points of view. A poster may be the result of a singular or personal point of view but if it’s really well crafted speaks about universal things. The poster is the best place for meaning, surprise, where the common become uncommon, where the impossible becomes plausible in terms of image and word. The world is not a handkerchief, it is a poster” says Juan.

We invite you to take a look at the work from Juan Miranda by visiting his personal website

Poster Monday: Digital Anxiety – The Dark Side of the Net

The second Poster Monday spot of october is entitled “Digital Anxiety – The Dark Side of the Net” and belongs to Matias Verteramo from Rio Negro, Argentina. Matias has been studied in two art schools and now is working on a freelance basis with a social commitment to design.

Matias explains the concept for his poster “Digital Anxiety – The Dark Side of the Net is based on the idea of using new technologies as fashion to be exposed all the time, this causes joy or frustration to others; excess use and that this causes, when humans communicate with each other; isolation, stress, depression, phobias, the ‘hyperconnection’ where everything happens instantly, and broke the distance barrier and the relationship between us as people and technology, and you may be online at all times and in all places. I hope, with my poster, propose to other people hyperconnection the idea of excess, the excessive use, and try to continue to engage without being dependent on it”.
