Poster Monday: War Only Brings Pain

For this new edition of Poster Monday we have a poster from the talented Goyen Chen from Taichung, Taiwan. He has a PhD in Digital Media Design from Asia University and have won 30 national design awards in just one year since started submitting posters to competitions last year. Currently teaching computer graphics, design thinking and audiovisual editing in a university course.

“The poster “War Only Brings Pain” mainly wants to express, for those who start a war, and then decide to start a war at the moment, the pain will come with it. I believe my poster appeals to the public in the simplest and clearest way possible that war only brings pain, and no matter who wins or loses today, there will be some painful losses. I hope that the leaders of all countries will think seriously before starting a war, we all live on the same land.

I created this poster at the end of May this year, when the war between Russia and Ukraine was going on. I wanted to use my small power to let everyone know that no matter what conflict we face today, the people who use violence are absolutely to blame for everyone’s suffering” tell us Goyen.

POSTER MONDAY: No War

POSTER MONDAY: No War

Last place for September goes to Mikhail Lychkovskiy and his poster “No war”. He is the contemporary designer and poster artist. His works are based on typographic treatment and mixing of national graphic styles.

“The poster was made in the last days of February this year and it relies on the aesthetics of designers, whom I consider saints for various reasons. To pay tribute to Peter Bankov, I used acrylic paint, a tired brush and a broken toothpick. The rocket peels off like a sticker (or like a plaster) — to honor Shigeo Fukuda, as a designer who survived a terrible war and left the strongest statements about it. I don’t really believe that people who start wars can listen to the sayings on the poster. But. In a sense, the work was done out of helplessness and to overcome helplessness. This is a question that is important to ask yourself and find an answer to it: What can you do to stop the war? You can always do at least something to make the world a better place (or at least not make it worse)” tell us Mikhail.

If you would like to learn more from Mikhail and his work visit his web page and stay tuned with us until we reveal the next Poster Monday spot, visit our facebook page and find out more about poster news, events and competitions.

Poster Monday: A Lost Bird of Peace

For this spot we are featuring a poster designed by Zeinab Nazirova, a graphic designer born in 1994 in Baku. She has been interested in painting and art since childhood. After graduating from school-lyceum No. 166 named after Faig Rafiyev, Zeinab is graduated from the “Technology” department of the “Technology and Design” faculty of the Azerbaijan State University of Economics. She has 5 years of experience in this field and currently working as a freelancer.

Peace itself is always in conflict with such a war. “In the poster, I have chosen the concept of the current war between Ukraine and Russia. I think peace depends on war. Peace – if there is no war, there is peace. I could not remain silent on this issue because I live in a war-torn country. I hope that there will be no more war in any part of the world, and people will find the bird of peace even if there is no war” tell us Zeinab.

Poster Monday: World Without Vladimir Putin

For this monday we bring you a poster from Ulvi Gulusoy born in 1994 in Jalilabad, Azerbaijan, now live in the capital Baku; Ulvi have been teaching Graphic Design in the leading design academy and is an official representative of Adobe and Autodesk in Azerbaijan: Baku Design Academy since 2019, also an Adobe Certified Professional with a badge of “Visual Design” He started his design career in 2013.
“The idea behind this poster is to symbolize the terror Vladimir Putin bought to the world in recent months. The phrase “миру мир но не владимир. (Miru mir, no ne Vladimir)” means that the world needs peace (mir) not war (symbolically Vladimir). In this case, the word mir in Russian means both world and peace. And by removing (scratching) mir from Vladimir Putin’s name I tried to visualize that the actions of Putin go against the principles of a peaceful society” tell us Ulvi.
If you would like to know more about Ulvi Gulusoy  we invite you to visit his personal behance and Instagram account where you can also find more posters and projects from him. If you would like to submit a poster to be featured on Poster Mondays find all the info you need to participate in our submissions page.

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.

If you would like to learn more from Emese Deschmann and her work visit her instagram and remember to submit your poster for the next edition of Poster Monday. Find all the info you need in our submissions page, and facebook.

“E=empathy” Virtual Exhibition

Smith House Galleries, in collaboration with 150 Franklin Street Gallery, presents
e = empathy Virtual Exhibition. This poster exhibition was made by architectural design students from James Madison University to express through posters their feelings and speaking out for people in the Black Lives Matter Movement.

“Our goal was to release. Through so much racial strife and tension that is raging through our country. I felt our guys needed an outlet to use their design language to express what they were feeling and to speak out for people in the movement”.

Poster Monday: Kids Create Peace

Poster Monday: Kids Create Peace

For this first Poster Monday spot of the year we have a poster from Canadian artist Duncan Major. Duncan explains in his own words “I was born in a strange, wild island off the east coast of Canada called Newfoundland; it’s where I live now with my wife and son. I fell in love with print matter as a printer’s devil at Walking Bird Press as a teenager, printing books, posters, and ephemeral pieces for the APA bundle which were inspired by being a father to a 2 year old and by classic peace posters created by OSPAAAL, Seymour Chwast and Shigeo Fukuda”. Duncan also illustrates books, makes animations with linocuts, designs album covers and runs Walpurgis Press, a small-scale letterpress shop, with his wife.

The poster “Kids Create Peace” shows a parallel between coils of barbed wire, a symbol of war and conflict, and the circular drawings of toddlers, “I think that kids create peace and heal division by inspiring grownups, which are in charge of the world’s decisions, to look at what matters most in life. When it comes down to it, I think what’s important is often very basic, like a scribble. In its purest form, I think designing a poster is like writing a poem in images; it’s finding an interesting way to phrase a visual, to find links between seemingly disparate things. Taking this idea into a poster design, I tried to keep it simple, minimal and handcrafted like my favorite posters” says Duncan.
