Poster Monday: A Lost Bird of Peace

For this spot we are featuring a poster designed by Zeinab Nazirova, a graphic designer born in 1994 in Baku. She has been interested in painting and art since childhood.

She has 5 years of experience in this field and currently working as a freelancer.

Peace itself is always in conflict with such a war. “In the poster, I have chosen the concept of the current war between Ukraine and Russia. I think peace depends on war. Peace – if there is no war, there is peace. I could not remain silent on this issue because I live in a war-torn country. I hope that there will be no more war in any part of the world, and people will find the bird of peace even if there is no war” tell us Zeinab.

Poster Monday: World Without Vladimir Putin

For this monday we bring you a poster from Ulvi Gulusoy born in 1994 in Jalilabad, Azerbaijan, now live in the capital Baku; Ulvi have been teaching Graphic Design in the leading design academy and is an official representative of Adobe and Autodesk in Azerbaijan: Baku Design Academy since 2019, also an Adobe Certified Professional with a badge of “Visual Design” He started his design career in 2013.
“The idea behind this poster is to symbolize the terror Vladimir Putin bought to the world in recent months. The phrase “миру мир но не владимир. (Miru mir, no ne Vladimir)” means that the world needs peace (mir) not war (symbolically Vladimir). In this case, the word mir in Russian means both world and peace. And by removing (scratching) mir from Vladimir Putin’s name I tried to visualize that the actions of Putin go against the principles of a peaceful society” tell us Ulvi.
If you would like to know more about Ulvi Gulusoy  we invite you to visit his personal behance and Instagram account where you can also find more posters and projects from him. If you would like to submit a poster to be featured on Poster Mondays find all the info you need to participate in our submissions page.

Poster Monday: Fake Peace

The designer on the todays Poster Monday is Elshan Valijanov from Azerbaijan. He was born in 1984 in Dashkasan. In 1994 moved to the capital Baku. “As a child, I loved to draw abstract pictures, and this is one of the main indicator that I became a designer in the future. I am an ecologist by profession and I love nature and people”. Elshan work as a freelancer with many countries, he have won many foreign and local design competitions also working as a Graphic Designer and Art Director in the biggest holding in Azerbaijan.

The “Fake Peace” poster tells us about a phenomenon that is repeated in the world more times than we wish. “According to the lies of dictatorial politicians, there is no peace and security in the world. The world does not need a fake peace. It is a political poster. In this poster, I have tried to show the face of dictatorial politicians. Not every word they say is serious and good for the nation. They often say they want peace, but they see peace in war. They even kill people for their own interests. Dove is a symbol of peace, but their lies prevent the dove from flying away. Poster designs and design in general are very closely related, I love this art and the art of design is an inseparable part of my life” tell us Elshan.

Poster Monday: Armenia lovin it

Nuriman Zakiroghlu from Azerbaijan is the author of the Poster Monday that we present today “Armenia lovin it”. He is a freelance graphic designer specialized in visual communication and visual solutions. Nuriman currently works as a graphic design instructor.

This poster was created as a sign of protest against the one-sided position of brands such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Papa Johns in Azerbaijan during the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in late 2020. The poster shows a map of Azerbaijan and McDonald’s bombs falling from Armenia to Azerbaijan. One of these bombs refers to a war zone, and the other to the civilian cities of Azerbaijan, which are not war zones, bombed by Armenia. McDonald’s, which started this in Azerbaijan, criticized other brands’ position in this challenging time for the country. As a consequence of invalid Armenian propaganda, famous brands’ erroneous and unfair position is clearly expressed in McDonald’s slogan (armenia lovin’ it) related to the corresponding situation.

Poster Monday: Karabakh is Azerbaijan

Nuriman Zakiroghlu from Azerbaijan is the author of the Poster Monday that we present today. He is a freelance graphic designer specialized in visual communication and visual solutions. Nuriman currently works as a graphic design instructor.

The poster “Karabakh is Azerbaijan“ indicates the current leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh through the negative space. Armenia has committed genocide against the civilian population by involving ASALA and many other terrorist organizations in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, and about 1 million Azerbaijanis have been expelled from their homeland.
Despite the fact that for almost 30 years UN resolutions and most countries of the world recognize the genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis, and the Karabakh being the official territory of Azerbaijan, Armenia did not step back from its aggressive politics, even continued to violate the ceasefire.
Finally, on September 27, Azerbaijan responded to the Armenian aggressors’ violation of the ceasefire and attacks on Azerbaijani lands again. Since 30 years of peace talks did not yield any results, the Azerbaijani government rightfully started to resolve the conflict by protecting the territory from the occupation of Armenia.
However, instead of fighting on the front line, Armenians started killing civilians as always by sending missiles to other Azerbaijani cities outside far from the front which is a complete violation of the terms of the current Geneva Convention. Nevertheless, Armenian lobbies continue to spread false information without any evidence and to try to convince the countries of the world to intervene in the situation.
On the poster, you can see the current prime minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, on the left side of the map, and the current president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, on the right.

Poster Title: Black Lives Matter

The last Poster Monday spot of the month goes to Nuriman Zakiroghlu for his poster Black Lives Matter, born in Azerbaijan he has experienced in visual communication and problem-solving, currently working as a freelancer.

Black Lives Matter is a decentralized movement advocating for non-violent civil disobediencein the United States in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against Black people. The poster that we now display reflects the protection of black rights in this country, but also shows that the murder of George Floyd by a police officer tarnished the Blue Lives Matter, which was created in 2014. “The poster features an edited Blue Lives Matter flag. By hiding the black text, it was emphasized that not only blacks but also lives, in general, are important” says Nuriman.

If you would like to find out more about Nuriman Zakiroghlu work visit his personal behance and instagram account, remember to submit your poster for the next edition of Poster Monday. Find all the info you need in our submissions page and facebook.

Poster Monday: Cross like a human!

For this Poster Monday spot we are featuring a poster designed by Amal Alili entitled, “Cross like a human!”.  Amal was born & raised in Baku, Azerbaijan. His inspiration comes from industrial minimalism and different cultures. Amal studied the Advanced Graphic Design course at IED Firenze Summer Course / Visual Communication from Istituto Europeo di Design. Over five years he worked on a variety of projects with agencies, companies or even individuals. Custom work is his territory, branding, web design, UI/UX design, print design, photo manipulation & any offline design. Amal has designed a lot of posters for local movies and recently won 1st place in the graphic design section within the Azerbaijan Fashion Week Contest and won a free summer course from Istituto Europeo di Design / Italy – Florence.

The poster we are featuring today is “Cross like a human!”. Amal expresses, “Nowadays car accidents are happening more and more, day by day. So, people have to be more careful about it! It hurts me really. That’s why I thought – how I can share my opinion about it and create a social one. Posters are a good way to do it! I think I transferred my feelings into it”.
Texting while walking is more dangerous than we think, street accidents attributed to cell phone use has doubled within five years, when texting, you’re not as in control with the complex actions of walking. While talking on the phone is a distraction, texting is much more dangerous because you can’t see the path in front of you.
