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

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: 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.

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.
