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.

Poster Monday: Viruses

For the second Monday in October, we are presenting the “Viruses” poster that Alireza Vaziri Rahimi sent us from Texas in the USA. He´s is a Designer/Educator specializing in Graphic and Interactive Design. Currently, he is an assistant professor of Graphic Design at the University of Texas.

He has received national and international design awards such as London International Creative Competition, Goethe-Institute, Graphis International Design award, C2A Creative Communication Award, etc.

About the poster “Viruses” Alireza tells us: “As graphic designers, we have a responsibility to our society, especially in this surreal pandemic. I designed this poster series because last year when we all had to wear masks and hide our faces to protect our health under these thin fabrics, we were witnessing the true self of our leaders! Masks instead of covering their face, are representing their thoughts more than ever”. “I believe Design is a way of changing the world to be a better place. A better world may have a different definition for different people: perhaps an ergonomic chair or an interface for a pioneer application, each can make one’s world a better place to live in. As designers, we have a responsibility to our society, and we should welcome challenges and mainly confront the inner voices telling us to “just mind yourself.” As per the legendary Persian poet Rumi: “I came to you without ‘me,’ so come to me without ‘you’.” In this journey, my greatest passion is to view and visualize the depth of a phenomenon beyond its existence. Nowadays, I aim to re-examine concepts such as propaganda in relation to design and our contemporary digital culture”.

Alireza has over a decade of professional and academic experience has equipped him with creative methods and collaborative skills in Visual Communication Design, if you want to know more about his work visit his site and his Linkedin and behance profiles.

Poster Monday: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Welcome to another edition of Poster Monday. For this spot of the day we have a poster from Melike Bozkurt a am 23 years old designer. She lives in Istanbul Turkey, is a student at Yeditepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Graphic Design Department. At the same time, she studies at the Faculty of Architecture, Department of Interior Design.

Melike tell us about her poster “The subject of the poster I designed is“Obsessive Compulsive Disorder”. The reason I chose this topic is to raise awareness about this disease. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a condition in which people have repetitive thoughts called obsessions, and because this thought bothers them, they engage in repetitive behaviors called rituals or compulsions, usually in order to relax”. While designing this poster, my starting point was the brain, which is our thinking center. These complex and repetitive thoughts that occur in the brain greatly affect the life of the person. I wanted to reflect this confusion in the brain in my poster. On the other hand, I compared our brain to a walnut with its similarity and supporting its development.
We designers should support people with the disease by including these issues in our designs in order to raise more awareness of such diseases. I hope my poster will inspire these people, stay happy!”

She is a junior student at Yeditepe University and her major is in graphics design with a concentration on design and posters.

The poster “Extinct” tackles the topic of endangered animals for the poster design. The reason for choosing this subject is that animals are not given sufficient importance and value. Mihta wants to raise awareness among people. While examining the reasons behind the extinction of these animals, she recognized that the main reason behind is humankind’s unconsciousness even if it is unintentional.
In order to draw attention to this reality, she used the remains of human faces with elements that will reveal the most distinctive characteristics of extinct animals this in order to draw attention over that one-day humankind will also face the risk of extinction.

Actually participate to poster contests and also illustrate in the daily newspapers LeTemps in Switzerland.

This poster was made after a call from Greenpeace to realize a poster on the theme: Save the Arctic. The poster is trying to alert on the melt of Arctic and the consequences like the extinction or the polar bear and also a tribute to the great french sculptor François Pompon who created the famous Pompon Bear which can be seen in the Orsay Museum in Paris. A poster has to create an instant and understandable message. “I hope this poster can contribute to open eyes on the melt of Arctic and what will happen because of it. During my studies, I have been amazed by the powerfulness of different poster designers’s work like Savignac, Cieslewicz, Walenta, Batory, etc. and discovered through workshops this exercice of creation. After that, it was done, i kept going creating and participating to contest and paste my work in the street… Design is everywhere but it shall not only be reduce to a merchantile purpose.
