Poster Monday: Uncompromising Freedom Fighters

The first Poster Monday spot of August comes from Croatia, it is entitled “Uncompromising Freedom Fighters” and it was designed by Ante Filipović Grčić. He has a degree from the University of Zagreb Faculty of Textile Technology, Department of Textile and Clothing Design, now lives and work in Šibenik. He has been professionally active since 1997, cooperating with many cultural institutions and organization.

The poster was designed for the third edition of Šibenik Festival of Alternative and Left (FALIŠ) whose guiding principle was marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. The concept of the poster directly refers to the battle on the river Sutjeska (15th to 16th of May, 1943), and the crucial partisans’ victory over the Axis forces. Exactly 1316 citizens of Šibenik, a small Croatian town on the Adriatic coast, took part in the battle of Sutjeska and 535 of them were killed there. Their symbol was hand-embroidered red star. “The poster does not celebrate or promote any ideology. After all, the Croatian partisans were communists, anarchists, liberals, believers, atheists. In a word, antifascists” says Ante.

Poster Monday: Denouncement

The Poster Monday spot of this week is entitled “Denouncement,” it comes from Mexico and it was designed by Luis Antonio Rivera Rodriguez. Luis Antonio was born in Puebla, Mexico.

The Denouncement poster design was originated by the deaths that took place in the city of Puebla, Mexico; unsolved cases where pregnant women were victims, mostly from their partners and that the government has done nothing to solve. “I decided to make this picture to share and make our society aware of what it is we are living. We know we can not reach everyone, but contribute a grain of sand and a high image shout. I used the metaphor to make an image more impact and simple understanding” says Rivera.

“I believe that design can help our community in different ways our work can have a social impact, strengthen an idea and that this not only remain on paper but also in the minds of recipients for long” says Luis Antonio.

Poster Monday: Terror

For the first Poster Monday spot of this month we have a poster from Poland designed by Paulina Przygoda entitled “Terror”. Paulina grew up in Gdańsk, Poland, and studied Akademy of fine Arts in Gdańsk and her biggest love are social posters. “This is the ideal form of expression for me. After a few years of cooperation with great people and artists who supported and mentored me I have found my passion” says Paulina.

The concept behind of the poster “Terror” is portraying how much consumerism is destroying us. The need of having materialistic things is burning us like matches. In the Paulina’s opinion the idea of the poster is very simple but also, very telling. Burnt out matches reminds the image of people locked in a barcode. Everyone should stop for a moment and think: Is my life worth as much as the sum of my possessions? says Paulina.

Poster Monday: For  Paris

The Poster Monday spot of the day entitled For Paris comes from Turkey and it belongs to Ozlem Habibe Mutaf Buyukarman. Ozlem was born in Izmir, Turkey in 1978; raised both in Izmir and Antalya, she studied Graphic Arts at the Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts, Graphic Arts Department and is graduate from the San Francisco State University, Creative Arts. She teaches graphic design and is the head of Graphic Design Department at Yeditepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts. She has worked as an art director in ad agencies for several years.

Ozlem explains the design: “This poster is condemning the horrible attacks in Paris, it is against terror, against destruction of many lives. In memory of the people got killed or harmed in Paris, I wanted to reflect the destructiveness and the unpredictability of terror. The green colour stands for the nature and harmony whereas the red among it stands for the violence and the orderless situation. I believe as a designers we always have effectiveness in social issues, at least we can create awareness and/or call to action for good, reflect the situation and express our thoughts…Thus, this poster was my visual reaction as a designer”.

Poster Monday: Lucerne World Japan

Today’s Poster Monday is entitled “Lucerne, World, Japan” and was designed by Luis Rutz. Luis works and lives in Heidelberg, Germany, where he is studying Communication Design at the HS Mannheim. He became interested in typography, after meeting people like Götz Gramlich or Niklaus Troxler. Luis says “Posters currently dominate my work, offering a great medium for unifying art and design”.

This poster was made during a workshop with Anette Lenz at the swiss “Fachklasse” in Lucerne. The topic was “world”. Luis explains: “At this time, there was an exhibition in town, showing the artistic connection between Lucerne and Japan. The intercultural connection is visualized in the writing, tied by swapping the tools. All this is not necessarily visible at first sight, which i like. In the end it is much more important for a poster to cause interest on the surface”.

Poster Monday: Access

This week’s Poster Monday spot goes to David Jimenez from Guayaquil, Ecuador for his poster “Access”. David is a passionate graphic designer, always making something new. He is currently studying Advertising Graphics Management.

Davi explain’s the concept for his poster: “The original idea came to me because my grandma was having some difficulties in getting her medicines from the Social Security Health Department. She asked: ‘Why is there no medicines in the amount I need?’ I replied: ‘That’s the reality of how much they care for our health. We have to pay huge amounts of money to get quality and quantity. She answered; ‘That’s very sad…’ The reality is that, most of the time, getting free medicines can be a real struggle”.

Poster Monday: Well-Come

Poster Monday: Well-Come

For the first Poster Monday of february we have a poster from Alessandro Pigoni from Milan, Italy with his poster Well-Come. Alessandro has a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design and graduated with honors from IED, Istituto Europeo di Design. He has participated in many national and international exhibitions, which include: Sonia Delaunay 130 International Poster Campaign, Blank Poster x [kɔn] Decay Exhibition and Ficciones Typografika.

For the poster Well-Come Alessandro started with a very simple concept: the hypocrisy of people. The poster was made during The Global Refugee Crisis Majid Abbasi poster workshop. Alessandro explains his concept: “This is the way in which European countries give the ‘welcome’ to refugees fleeing by war, deliberately misspelled the word ‘welcome’, to play with the double reading of the word well / hell. I felt that the word; ‘Hell-come’ has a very powerful meaning, a sort of ‘welcome to hell'”.

“I love doing posters and I think that poster design is one of the most pure form of graphic design. I like the idea that people are influenced and suggestionate by a lot of different stimuli and I like to try to write down those stimuli on posters” says Alessandro.

If you would like to see more from Alessandro visit his personal Behance page and website.

Poster Monday: A Lie Or Truth

Poster Monday: A Lie Or Truth

The first poster Monday of 2016 belongs to Mary Anne Pennington and her poster entitled  A Lie Or Truth, created for the International Poster Biennale Bielsko-Biala 2015. The theme for the design was to encourage thought regarding the general notion of truth, its cognitive and ethical aspects, and its popular understanding. Her focus was on the concept of telling “A Lie Or Truth” and the consequences of those two, hoping that in the end the light of the truth will “stand tall”.

Mary Anne was born in Kansas, United States in 1973. She is a graphic designer, focusing on social awareness. She is recognized internationally for her poster designs. Her work has been exhibited in over sixty locations worldwide including France, Beirut, Lebanon, Iran, Poland, Italy, Korea and the United Kingdom. Mary Anne has always been a curious individual and feels it is essential to never stop questioning. Social issues are very important to her and she utilizes her time to promote awareness on these issues that ultimately affect us all, including poverty, equality and education.

About her design, Mary Anne says: “I feel this is a strong message for our current society, with so much information out there. How do we know what is true and what is a lie? Will we use our own minds, research, and choose the right path to truth? Will we listen to the media, and gossip, and be pulled under with lies?”.
