Poster Monday: Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault

For this Poster Monday spot we featuring the poster “Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault” designed by Ágnes Rozmann a graphic designer living and working in born in Budapest (Hungary). She teach graphic design at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, where obtained her Master’s Degree in Graphics and Visual Art Education and a Doctoral Degree in Fine Arts.

Ágnes tell us “My poster Rape is Never the Victim’s Fault was made for the call of the 16th International Poster Biennial in Mexico. When the theme of a poster is violence, the most usual concept is to shock the viewer by visualising aggressivity in some way. As I’ve seen so far, the daily news we all watch has made most of us indifferent to the visuals of misery, pain, and excruciation. That’s why I have chosen to depict the beauty and vulnerability of the female body. I think it is a more effective way to call people’s attention to this serious issue in the vast jungle of shocking everyday news. I got First Prize in Category D for this poster at the 16th International Poster Biennial in Mexico in 2021”.

Poster Monday: Peace for Ukraine

Poster Monday: Peace for Ukraine

The designer on the spot today is Pawel Pacholec a graphic designer from Poland. He studied graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk and photography at the University of Arts in Poznan.

“This poster is my graphic manifest and reaction to the situation in Ukraine. I’m not a politician, nor a soldier. As a graphic designer this is what I can say in the form of a visual message. Two fingers shaping V letter is a very universal peace symbol across the globe. Peace is what Ukraine needs the most right now. To colors, blue and yellow that stand for Ukraine’s flag, and black background that represents Russian terror and aggression, as well as deep ignorance of Russia. “Peace for Ukraine” is a digital illustration. I spend some time making the proportions of the hand to the background just right. The black (or missing thumb) reminds us that freedom and peace is not given once and for all, and there has to be a constant fight to keep it. The symbolism is simple and direct: peace is all that matters for Ukrainian people these days” tell us Pawel.

Poster Monday: Less War

In our first Poster Monday of may we present a series of posters entitled “Less War” created by Ian Perkins from UK. He was born and studied design and illustration in the UK, worked in design and advertising for many years, in the cities of NYC, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore and Taipei.
For the last 9 years Ian have run Name & Name design studio, based in Asia, working on graphic design and visual brand communication projects across Asia, China, UK and USA.

The Ukraine conflict is in the news. People are dying. “We were asked by Taiwan creative representatives to create a poster that could be passed on and used by Ukraine creative groups for peace promotion. For the poster with the peace symbol showing where there are no guns, the concept was “where there is no fighting (represented by the guns and weapons), there is peace”.
For the poster with the 2 guns pointing away from each other a heart is created where the handles meet – representing that when weapons are not pointed at each other, love (and peace, kindness and associated feelings) can be found. As a designer who creates mass messaging, usually to sell things, it is nice to use my skills to promote peace and to inspire others, and I am hoping for an end to this (and the other conflicts currently less in the news)” tell us Ian.

Poster Monday: The New World

Poster Monday: The New World

For April’s last Poster Monday spot we featuring  “The new World” designed by Mariia Ominina a Digital artist from Paris, France.
“It was a journey for me to come to the topic of ‘the new world’.  For the last 7 years, I was traveling a lot around the world. I was hit by my experience in Asia. That was the first time I had an idea to make a series of posters related to this new reality I explored. There was a lot of job on collecting the conceptions of this new world idea I have. I get to the point that it is much wider than just the difference between European and Asian civilizations.

The idea of ‘net’ and ‘confusion and even rather a lack of clarity’ appeared in my head as 2 anchors. They were the base of the visual solution I found for this project. It took me almost 2 years to finish this series due to pandemic and other bothering things around. This tragedy in Ukraine forced me to finish it. Because my first thoughts about ‘the new world’ turned into a totally different perspective. This project is about connection. About old and new. About all of us lost in this brand new world. About what is around us now” tell us Mariia.

If you would like to see more recent projects from Mariia Ominina visit her personal behance page. It simply has no waste. And for submit a poster to be featured on Poster Mondays find all the info you need to participate in our submissions page.

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: Fake Peace

The designer on the todays Poster Monday is Elshan Valijanov from Azerbaijan. He was born in 1984 in Dashkasan. In 1994 moved to the capital Baku. “As a child, I loved to draw abstract pictures, and this is one of the main indicator that I became a designer in the future. I am an ecologist by profession and I love nature and people”. Elshan work as a freelancer with many countries, he have won many foreign and local design competitions also working as a Graphic Designer and Art Director in the biggest holding in Azerbaijan.

The “Fake Peace” poster tells us about a phenomenon that is repeated in the world more times than we wish. “According to the lies of dictatorial politicians, there is no peace and security in the world. The world does not need a fake peace. It is a political poster. In this poster, I have tried to show the face of dictatorial politicians. Not every word they say is serious and good for the nation. They often say they want peace, but they see peace in war. They even kill people for their own interests. Dove is a symbol of peace, but their lies prevent the dove from flying away. Poster designs and design in general are very closely related, I love this art and the art of design is an inseparable part of my life” tell us Elshan.
