The social poster has been a line of knowledge that has been present in his professional career as a designer, academic coordinator and professor of design at the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Occidente ITESO.

“The poster Bridge was born for participating in different community projects as a self-taught bass player and guitarist, and in recent decades as a poster artist, have generated a taste for sharing and expressing for people the importance of doing for and with others. I believe that there are many things to do with others, in the places we inhabit and we cannot generate a change and lead a transition of society from an individualistic vision and suddenly, it requires everyone to turn around and walk connected to new horizons. to start with small but constant steps. Music and art in general manage to establish personal links between human beings to create a unity from diversity. The idea of ​​linking us through, as Vargas Llosa says, “good literature builds bridges between different people and, making us enjoy, suffer or surprise us, unites us below the languages, beliefs, uses, customs and prejudices that separate us” And this reminds us that there are more things that unite us than those that separate us” tell us Hugo.

Poster Monday: Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault

For this Poster Monday spot we featuring the poster “Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault” designed by Ágnes Rozmann a graphic designer living and working in born in Budapest (Hungary). She teach graphic design at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where obtained her Master’s Degree in Graphics and Visual Art Education and a Doctoral Degree in Fine Arts.

Ágnes tell us “My poster Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault was made for the call of the 16th International Poster Biennial in Mexico. When the theme of a poster is violence, the most usual concept is to shock the viewer by visualising aggressivity in some way. As I’ve seen so far, the daily news we all watch has made most of us indifferent to the visuals of misery, pain, and excruciation. That’s why I have chosen to depict the beauty and vulnerability of the female body. I think it is a more effective way to call people’s attention to this serious issue in the vast jungle of shocking everyday news. I got First Prize in Category D for this poster at the 16th International Poster Biennial in Mexico in 2021”.

Poster Monday: Less War

In our first Poster Monday of may we present a series of posters entitled “Less War” created by Ian Perkins from UK. He was born and studied design and illustration in the UK, worked in design and advertising for many years, in the cities of NYC, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore and Taipei.
For the last 9 years Ian have run Name & Name design studio, based in Asia, working on graphic design and visual brand communication projects across Asia, China, UK and USA.

The Ukraine conflict is in the news. People are dying. “We were asked by Taiwan creative representatives to create a poster that could be passed on and used by Ukraine creative groups for peace promotion. For the poster with the peace symbol showing where there are no guns, the concept was “where there is no fighting (represented by the guns and weapons), there is peace”.
For the poster with the 2 guns pointing away from each other a heart is created where the handles meet – representing that when weapons are not pointed at each other, love (and peace, kindness and associated feelings) can be found. As a designer who creates mass messaging, usually to sell things, it is nice to use my skills to promote peace and to inspire others, and I am hoping for an end to this (and the other conflicts currently less in the news)” tell us Ian.
