Poster Monday: Coercion, War is a Violation

The first Monday Poster of April its titled Coercion, War is a Violation and was designed by Emese Deschmann. She was born in Buapest (Hungary) to an art patronizing family, after spending a year at the Merz Academy (Hochschule Für Gestaltung, Kunst und Medien) in Stuttgart, then she graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Pécs with a degree in painting (2000). Emese have gained most of her knowledge from the masters, Sándor Pinczehelyi and Ferenc Lantos. After working in the field of advertising graphics and graphic design work for more than 10 years – therefore gaining a lot of professional and human experience – she have found her way back to artistic poster design and illustration.

“The war next to us sparked the idea, but what I wanted to say is a little more general. Coercion, war is a violation of life itself. Whichever way it ends up, whatever it results in – a collective trauma is inevitable. Whatever the purpose of war is –  an exercise of power, financial or territorial increment, – violence is the humiliation of life” tell us Emese.

Poster Monday: Venus Cry

Today’s Poster Monday comes from Oman, designed by Salim al-japri and titled “Venus Cry” and tells us about the obsession to achieve beauty.

In the now globalized Western culture, the search for beauty has some facets that cannot be considered beautiful. An ordinary person is exposed to the thousands of messages that present beauty with obsessive standards, creating addictions that not only affect the body but also mental and social health, where depression, anxiety and other mental disorders are becoming more frequent among people from ages as young as nine years old up to thirty years old and more.

Poster Monday: Zero Waste

The last place of the Poster Monday of November is for Gonzalo Holtheuer from Chile and his “Zero Waste” poster. Gonzalo is an architect by profession but he tells us that: “for me graphic design and particularly posters have been and will always be my passion. For me, posters are a universe in themselves, capable of transmitting a series of emotions, through an unlimited range of possibilities.  The poster not only communicates, but also summons, provokes and moves, and that interaction with the viewer fascinates me”.

About the poster ” Zero Waste ” Gonzalo tells us: “The creative concept of the poster was to take a universal icon, such as a public trash receptacle, and give it a potential for transformation, to the extent that it ceases to fulfill its function, for which it was made.  Regarding the creative process, personally, I like to work with elements that are recognizable by everyone, and give them a twist or a condition that they did not have before, but that are still recognized as such”.

Poster Monday: Viruses

For the second Monday in October, we are presenting the “Viruses” poster that Alireza Vaziri Rahimi sent us from Texas in the USA. He´s is a Designer/Educator specializing in Graphic and Interactive Design. Currently, he is an assistant professor of Graphic Design at the University of Texas. Alireza earned his MFA degree in Design from University of California-Davis, and a bachelor’s degree in Stage Design from Tehran University of Art. He has received national and international design awards such as London International Creative Competition, Goethe-Institute, Graphis International Design award, C2A Creative Communication Award, etc.

About the poster “Viruses” Alireza tells us: “As graphic designers, we have a responsibility to our society, especially in this surreal pandemic. I designed this poster series because last year when we all had to wear masks and hide our faces to protect our health under these thin fabrics, we were witnessing the true self of our leaders! Masks instead of covering their face, are representing their thoughts more than ever”. “I believe Design is a way of changing the world to be a better place. A better world may have a different definition for different people: perhaps an ergonomic chair or an interface for a pioneer application, each can make one’s world a better place to live in. As designers, we have a responsibility to our society, and we should welcome challenges and mainly confront the inner voices telling us to “just mind yourself.” As per the legendary Persian poet Rumi: “I came to you without ‘me,’ so come to me without ‘you’.” In this journey, my greatest passion is to view and visualize the depth of a phenomenon beyond its existence. Nowadays, I aim to re-examine concepts such as propaganda in relation to design and our contemporary digital culture”.

Alireza has over a decade of professional and academic experience has equipped him with creative methods and collaborative skills in Visual Communication Design, if you want to know more about his work visit his site and his Linkedin and behance profiles. Don’t forget that you can send us your poster to appear in this section using our submission page.
