Poster Monday: Well-Come

For the first Poster Monday of february we have a poster from Alessandro Pigoni from Milan, Italy with his poster Well-Come. Alessandro has a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design and graduated with honors from IED, Istituto Europeo di Design. He has participated in many national and international exhibitions, which include: Sonia Delaunay 130 International Poster Campaign, Blank Poster x [kɔn] Decay Exhibition and Ficciones Typografika.

For the poster Well-Come Alessandro started with a very simple concept: the hypocrisy of people. The poster was made during The Global Refugee Crisis Majid Abbasi poster workshop. Alessandro explains his concept: “This is the way in which European countries give the ‘welcome’ to refugees fleeing by war, deliberately misspelled the word ‘welcome’, to play with the double reading of the word well / hell. I felt that the word; ‘Hell-come’ has a very powerful meaning, a sort of ‘welcome to hell'”.

“I love doing posters and I think that poster design is one of the most pure form of graphic design. I like the idea that people are influenced and suggestionate by a lot of different stimuli and I like to try to write down those stimuli on posters” says Alessandro.

If you would like to see more from Alessandro visit his personal Behance page and website.

Poster Monday: Innovation in Education

Our first Poster Monday of the day is Innovation in Education, designed by Sabina Oberholzer & Renato Tagli for the exhibition of the same name organized by the Ataturk University Continuous Education Centre.

Following the them of innovation Sabina and Renato, reflected on the media and its relationship with the youth today, and thought of the metaphor of the trapped mouse, showing young people that even though technology can be an aid they should be careful not to abuse it. To round up the concept they included the text “Information Technology helps innovate education, but don’tget hung up on it!

Sabina and Renato think that visual communication is one of the components very important for our society. It is very important to communicate the message in a simple and clear way. They have long experience in graphic design, both individually and collectively. Their poster work their work has been recognized and rewarded in many competitions and collections around the world. In 2005, they were invited to participate in the Swiss National Bank’s contest for creating the new series of banknotes, and in 2009 they won the contest for the Swiss Post Office’s stamp series Auguri (good wishes), in circulation since last September. If you want to learn more about Sabina and Renato you can visit the studio web page.
