Poster Monday: Zero Waste

The last place of the Poster Monday of November is for Gonzalo Holtheuer from Chile and his “Zero Waste” poster. Gonzalo is an architect by profession but he tells us that: “for me graphic design and particularly posters have been and will always be my passion. For me, posters are a universe in themselves, capable of transmitting a series of emotions, through an unlimited range of possibilities.  The poster not only communicates, but also summons, provokes and moves, and that interaction with the viewer fascinates me”.

About the poster ” Zero Waste ” Gonzalo tells us: “The creative concept of the poster was to take a universal icon, such as a public trash receptacle, and give it a potential for transformation, to the extent that it ceases to fulfill its function, for which it was made.  Regarding the creative process, personally, I like to work with elements that are recognizable by everyone, and give them a twist or a condition that they did not have before, but that are still recognized as such”.

Poster Monday: Disinformation

For the last Poster Monday in October we present the poster “Disinformation” designed by Wes Karchut from Colorado, United States. He has been a fine artist for over 25 years. “Originally I worked exclusively in oils and now have moved almost exclusively to digital art. I am mostly self-taught as much as anyone is self-taught with all of the wonderful design content on the web (clearly a good use of technology). I am a Colorado native and worked in a number of boring business jobs, but always doing design work personally and professionally”.

We asked Wes about the concepts behind his “Disinformation” poster and this is what he tells us: “The concept behind my poster is the displacement of traditional media with social media along with its attendant addictive qualities. The upside down orientation reflects how our world view has likewise been turned upside down and our brains manipulated by deep, psychological means built into these social media platforms. The backstory on this poster was a poster contest that I never entered, but for which I designed this poster. The contest theme was “disinformation and new media” I don’t know how to solve the problem of disinformation and social media, but I do believe raising awareness through a poster and other means is a good first step”.

If you would like to follow Wes work visit his behance and Instagram acount. And remember to submit your posters to be featured in our coming editions of Poster Monday.

Respiratory viruses, such as coronavirus (COVID-19), are spread when saliva or droplets infected with the virus enter your body through your eyes, nose, or throat. This often happens through your hands. Hands are one of the most common ways viruses are transmitted from person to person. In a global epidemic, one of the cheapest, easiest, and most important ways to prevent the transmission of the virus is to repeatedly wash our hands that protect us against the virus. Frequent hand washing is a weapon against the virus.

Don’t forget that you can send us your poster to appear in this section using our submission page.
