POSTER MONDAY: Peace

Today’s Poster Monday spot belongs to Ameneh Moayedi and her poster “Peace” Ameneh is a Iranian graphic designer living in Paris.  She spent high school in the field of graphics in the south of Iran and continued the bachelor’s degree in the same field and worked for many years.  In 2012, Ameneh moved to France for a master’s degree in visual communication.

“In graphic art, I like posters and I work mostly in this field.  I also examine modern carpet designers and research on the role of women in carpet weaving and the influence of poetry on Iranian carpet patterns.  Painting and drawing are my interests and I have had many exhibitions in this field. Usually my posters are minimal because I like simplicity in posters.  Custom posters for movies, theater and music concerts.  But I like non-commissioned posters whose subjects are social, cultural and political concerns. What concerns me the most is “humanity and love”.  As we see in this poster, loving, loving people to each other and kindness…!  It is free and we can communicate to each other even with a small smile.  I always keep in mind the city of the great Persian poet who says:

“Human beings are body parts of each other,
In creation they are indeed of one essence.
If a body part is afflicted with pain,
Other body parts uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you shall not retain.”

Saadi Shirazi
12th century

We cannot be indifferent to the pain and problems of others, anywhere on earth.  We are related to each other, we are connected to each other and I always believe in this and with my art I try to convey my message to all the people of the world that I love them and all people are important to me. The heart in this poster is a symbol of humanity and love, and the olive leaf is a symbol of “Peace”… the pink color speaks of feelings for me.  I designed the poster in the simplest way.  A heart that gives an olive branch and speaks of “Peace”. Of course, after the war in Ukraine, I changed the same poster with the background of the country’s flag (blue and yellow) to show my solidarity with the people of Ukraine and opposition to the war” tell us Ameneh.

Poster Monday: Freedom

For the first Poster Monday of October we featuring the poster “Freedom” from our previously featured designer Neda Abbasali Zadeh from Mashhad, Iran.

Iran at this moment is experiencing a very important social movement, part of its society no longer supports the restrictions and abuses imposed on women, sadly the trigger for this was the loss of the life of the young Mahsa Amini in the hands of the Police Moral. The voices in the country and outside of it demand freedom, we hope that they achieve it not only in this country but that one day not too far away the freedom of women in the world will not be a wish but a reality.

Neda tell us “Freedom is nothing but the right to live the way we want, and we do not have the simplest right in our country, Iran. Women are arrested and killed or imprisoned for saying the smallest right to choose. We do not have the right to speak and This means being in a cage. Life without freedom is like a body without a soul. In my poster, I depicted the bound and captive hands of young women and girls of my country to make their captivity known to the whole world”.

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.

Poster Monday: Bridge

The social poster has been a line of knowledge that has been present in his professional career as a designer, academic coordinator and professor of design at the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Occidente ITESO.

“The poster Bridge was born for participating in different community projects as a self-taught bass player and guitarist, and in recent decades as a poster artist, have generated a taste for sharing and expressing for people the importance of doing for and with others. I believe that there are many things to do with others, in the places we inhabit and we cannot generate a change and lead a transition of society from an individualistic vision and suddenly, it requires everyone to turn around and walk connected to new horizons. to start with small but constant steps. Music and art in general manage to establish personal links between human beings to create a unity from diversity. The idea of ​​linking us through, as Vargas Llosa says, “good literature builds bridges between different people and, making us enjoy, suffer or surprise us, unites us below the languages, beliefs, uses, customs and prejudices that separate us” And this reminds us that there are more things that unite us than those that separate us” tell us Hugo.
