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.

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.
