Respiratory viruses, such as coronavirus (COVID-19), are spread when saliva or droplets infected with the virus enter your body through your eyes, nose, or throat. This often happens through your hands. Hands are one of the most common ways viruses are transmitted from person to person. In a global epidemic, one of the cheapest, easiest, and most important ways to prevent the transmission of the virus is to repeatedly wash our hands that protect us against the virus. Frequent hand washing is a weapon against the virus.

Don’t forget that you can send us your poster to appear in this section using our submission page.

Poster Monday: Isolation

This Poster Monday spot of the day goes to Raqee S. Najmuldeen, born in Baghdad/ Iraq. He is graduated from University of Baghdad with MA in graphic design and then completed PhD at University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) in 2012. Currently I work as an assistant professor at the College of Fine Arts, University of Baghdad, and teach undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Raqee have four papers in English published on design and  three books on art and design, one in English (Surreal Photography and Effective Advertising, on Amazon) and the two other in Arabic language. His design has been featured more than once in Photoshop Creative, Practical Photoshop, Hall of Fame and Photographize magazines.

The poster featured above entitled “Isolation” talk us about how the world has faced a big, unexpected problem, which is Coronavirus. As a result, people’s fears increased. The media contributed greatly to terrorizing this issue. The issue was mixed with politics, and the countries started accusing each other about the origin of this virus. And we became confused and as a result, our home became a shelter, which we have no solution without. Therefore, this poster came as a critic to raise awareness of the dangers of this topic, the dangers of exaggerated fear of the virus. Used the visual metaphor, and took advantage of the myth that if an ostrich was afraid, it would bury its head in sand. The ostrich here symbolizes the fearful world that does not know what is going on around, is it a conspiracy or not. Instead of sand, a floor appears here from different icons, including mobile phones and net, to indicate social communication…, while the background appears in the Coronavirus pattern. “Burying our heads with sand does not solve the problem. We have to face it and think of effective solutions” tell us Raqee.

Stay around until be unveil the next Poster Monday and remember to submit your posters to be featured in our coming editions of Poster Monday.

The poster “Stop Acid Attack” tells us of a terrible situation in which countless women are found in the world; globally, there are approximately 1,500 acid attacks a year, but it is a crime that often goes unreported for fear of reprisal, according to numbers from the ActionAid organization. The greatest prevalence is in south Asian countries including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, where acid remains inexpensive and freely available but it is beginning to be seen in some Latin American countries. The problem behind this is the thought that the woman is something that has to please the wishes of the man and perhaps this situation is even more harmful than the crime of throwing acid at women, that is, the crime is only one of the worst symptoms of a disease that consists of considering women and girls as an object lacking will and rights of its own.
