Poster Monday: The Pianist

For this Poster Monday spot we featuring the poster “The Pianist” designed by Dragana Vasić a Graphic design student at The Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. “I started making posters at my first year at the Academy and that is the field in graphic design that I prefer the most, because of the complexity of translating every message to the visual language that is understandable to everyone, regardless of their interests and cultural background. The fields I also like are book design and branding. I like exploring the new fields in graphic design and art, and I’m trying to create my own style by using mixed media and combining traditional fine arts like painting, drawing, printmaking and illustration with modern graphic design tools” says Dragana.

The poster was made for the movie ‘The Pianist’ as a school project. The task was to make the poster with an optical illusion. “I’ve took an advantage of the optical similarity of the piano keys and bullets to make the optical illusion. I think that I’ve carried the movie plot over to the spectators, with only these two powerful symbols. My creative process was intuitive, because I’ve used well known similar images and just put them in a different context. I think that this poster is a new minimal interpretation (with a twist) of the well-known movie, but sometimes, less is more”.

I like to combine things which aren’t in common to make a story. In that field I  found FREEDOM which is important part of creativity” tell us Zorana.

“I wanted to show through this poster how much is EDUCATION important in my country especially after war that happened from 1992-1995. My country  needs a lot of education to improve our position in the world. Education is the movement from darkness to light.

Poster Monday: Achilles and the Tortoise

For the last Monday in October, we have the poster “Achilles and the Tortoise” designed by Dragana Vasić, a graphic design student at Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, she started making posters at the first year at the Academy and that is the field in graphic design that she prefer the most, alongside branding, because she feels freedom to create the whole new concept behind certain product, event, company/organization, movie, play, person, etc. “I like exploring new fields in graphic design and art, and try to create my own style by using mixed media and combining traditional fine arts like painting, drawing, printmaking and illustration with modern graphic design tools” says Dragana.

The poster is made for movie Achilles and the tortoise directed by Takeshi Kitano. It was a school project and the idea behind it was to create the feeling that you have after watching the movie. The question of this poster is: it worth it? “I think that my poster contributes to the theme in a way that it gives alternative to the movie posters that we see every day in the movie industry and they are all almost the same, following the same blueprint. My poster is different than that, because it provokes emotion, whether it is good or bad” says Dragana.

Poster Monday: “Don’t Kill my Creativity”

This Poster Monday spot belongs to Stefan Mijić for designing the poster entitled “Don’t Kill my Creativity”. Stefan Mijić is a Bosnian designer born in Banja Luka. He is a fourth year student at University of Banja Luka, Academy of Arts, Graphic Design Department in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His work is based on ecological and political posters, commercial design and intermedia. Besides local exhibitions and rewards, he was part of The Triennial Ekoplagát´17 – the international exhibition and contest in Žilina, Slovak Republic and won second place in the Western Balkans Fund logo comptetition, an organization based on six governments of the Western Balkans. Also, his poster will be part of a big exhibition “1917-2017” in Berlin and Prague.

Today’s poster was originally designed as a proposal for “Escucha Mi Voz” International Poster Contest For Children’s Rights. The concept story represents real situations, uniting a fight against totalitarianism and for kids rights, in a place where they are the most endangered. The main question is about consequences which would inevitably happen to a child and probably to his family. This innocent act, children’s drawing, fun and games, could bring forth terrible consequences. “As an artist, I feel obligated to speak against it!” Stefan tells us. For the production and craft process Stefan had help from his three year old neighbor Lena Aleksić. “I first gave her the picture and marking pens, then told her I have a task to make this boring guy happier and in a few minutes she did an incredible job. My wish in the first place was to bring emotions, because my vision of graphic design is pure emotion and pure idea.” says Stefan.
