Poster Monday: Liberty for All

The second Poster Monday spot of May goes to Roy Villalobos for the poster “Liberty for All”. Roy was born in Chicago and at an early age his family decided to move to Mexico. He studied graphic design in the Faculty of the Habitat in The Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi (UASLP). In the year 2000, he moved back to live in Chicago working as a freelance graphic designer for social and cultural non for profit organizations, mostly in the Hispanic market. Roy’s work has been published in numerous magazines, and he has been invited to be part of international jury panels of poster contests while providing workshops and conferences. His other passion and hobby is creating fine arts by painting murals and surrealism leading to his artwork being commissioned from organizations in the public and private sector.

The poster “Liberty for All” reflects a fundamental change in the United States itself. Death is reflected in half of the face of the Statue of Liberty, while the second half of the face is crying. It represents a change in what was supposed to be originally conceived as an emblem of friendship between nations and freedom from oppression. The Statue of Liberty is the Mother of Exiles, greeting millions of immigrants and embodying hope and opportunity for those seeking a better life in America. This poster shows a contrast with how liberty has transformed from the original idea.

The poster was created for a protest march in 2010 against The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (introduced as Arizona Senate Bill 1070 and thus often referred to simply as Arizona SB 1070). It was the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration bill and has received national and international attention which spurred considerable controversy.

Poster Monday: Animal Dignity

For the first Poster Monday spot of the month we are featuring the poster “Animal Dignity” from our previously featured designer Elizabeth Roman. Eli was born in Durango, México. Eli’s work is recognized by the clean and careful manufacture of the models that she builds using various materials as well as her use of photography. Some of her works have been exhibited collectively in Mexico, Italy, Japan, Germany, Venezuela and the USA.

“Animal Dignity” is a call to our conscience, an invitation to rethink the conditions in which our food is produced. “Farm animals are destined to a life of torture and agony, a situation we prefer to ignore in favor of our daily comfort. If we realize and learn about it, we may be able to demand producers to give farm animals a respectable life” says Eli.

Poster Monday: Die To Be Reborn

For this week’s Poster Monday we have a design entitled Die To Be Reborn, from Naandeyé García Villegas, a graphic designer who lives and works in Mexico City. Naandeyé earned a BA degree in Design and Visual Communication from the National School of Plastic Arts, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico, and a MA degree in Visual and Media Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain.

After completing her degrees she devoted herself to teaching Digital Imagery and at the same time she worked on editorial projects for the publishing group Santillana. She then experimented with interactive digital media winning the Quorum Bronze Award (Designers Council Mexico) in the category Multimedia (2006). She worked at Unanime Creative Agency (Spain), carrying out projects for high visibility clients from Russia and Spain.

The poster Die To Be Reborn is a visual metaphor for death. The author poses the question: How can we perceive death as something poetic? How can we understand it as a transformation? The image seeks reconciliation with a poetic and symbolic death that sometimes is necessary to find our way again. For example, our emotions die and are reborn in a constant cycle. “Conceptually, it departs from the idea that death is the end of life. Death has a duality. On one hand it mourns with all its emotional manifestations, but on the other, it is an opportunity to relive life in a different realm (symbolically speaking)”, says Naandeyé.

Poster Monday: Denouncement

The Poster Monday spot of this week is entitled “Denouncement,” it comes from Mexico and it was designed by Luis Antonio Rivera Rodriguez. Luis Antonio was born in Puebla, Mexico. He graduated in Graphic Design from the Autonomous University of Puebla and is the coordinator and professor of graphic design at the College of Sciences and Humanities Puebla.

The Denouncement poster design was originated by the deaths that took place in the city of Puebla, Mexico; unsolved cases where pregnant women were victims, mostly from their partners and that the government has done nothing to solve. “I decided to make this picture to share and make our society aware of what it is we are living. We know we can not reach everyone, but contribute a grain of sand and a high image shout. I used the metaphor to make an image more impact and simple understanding” says Rivera.

“I believe that design can help our community in different ways our work can have a social impact, strengthen an idea and that this not only remain on paper but also in the minds of recipients for long” says Luis Antonio.

Poster Monday: Somos Semilla (We are seed)

The Poster Monday spot of the week goes to Eréndida Mancilla from México for her poster entitled “Somos Semilla”. Eréndida studied Graphic Design at the School of Habitat and also has a Master in Graphic Design from the Research Institute and Graduate School of Habitat, at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi and a PhD in Architecture, Design and Urbanism from the Autonomous University of Morelos.

The poster refers to a series of episodes of violence that occurred during the night of September 26, 2014, in which Iguala municipal police attacked students of the Normal Rural School Ayotzinapa in Mexico. The events left many wounded and dead, as well as the famous 43 missing students. Eréndiad explains her design “I created this poster responding to the call organized by the artist Francisco Toledo and the Institute of Graphic Arts of Oaxaca, they invited the internacional community to participate in the design of a poster allusive to the disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa. The poster shows a positive and hopeful vision for Mexican society, is a visual game in which 43 black tears shed become seeds that generate the possibility of creating something new. For Mexicans it very difficult to accept the situation of violence and impunity that occurs in our country, however, we are good people who are looking for a change, a better future”.

Poster Monday: Whiplash

This week’s Poster Monday belongs to designer Elmer Sosa from México for his “Whiplash” poster design.

This poster was thought in the first instance as an illustration to accompany a critical text about the film. The central concept poster is based on the subtitle of the film “Music and Obsession”. The grand prize of being the best despite the pain and the physical, psychological and even psychological damage protagonist.

A first concept, “PAIN” represented graphically by a barbed wire and attached to a second concept, “MUSIC” represented by the drumstick is resumed; a metaphor where the same drumsticks are transformed into a barbed wire, against the background of a black color and the title of the film “WHIPLASH” with special treatment to refer blood is generated.

Drumsticks-spikes blood is clean because the pain, obsession and rage that shows the protagonist, is a hidden, at least in the first part of the film feeling.

Elmer Sosa was born in Puebla, México and It is influenced by the texts of Saramago, and the art of Fukuda, Drewinsky, Chaika, Jis, Boligán and Arbelo, openly professes his love for Arial, firmly think someday live only from illustration and fight daily for it.
