Poster Monday: Some Degree of Misunderstanding in Scale, Othello

The Poster Monday entitled Some Degree of Misunderstanding in Scale, Othello comes from Iran and it belongs to Saeid Rezvani. Saeid was born in the city of Shirvan and lives and work in Tehran. He currently leads the design studio Vahman in Tehran as its artistic director. “One of the projects that i do in my own studio, is designing theater Posters” says Saeid.

The poster Some degree of Misunderstanding in Scale, Othello, which mixes  drawing and digital. is a free interpretation of the play by William Shakespeare. For the design of this poster, the concept is the illusion of love and betrayal, the effect of romanticism and tragedy. “I tried using the most subtle indication of this possible relationship with the public, and I thought it succeeds” says Saeid.

Poster Monday: To Look Inside (Hamlet)

The first Poster Monday spot of this week goes to Erick Ginard for the poster To Look Inside (Hamlet). Erick studied Visual Communication Design in Havana where he was born. Currently he works as a freelance designer in Mexico City.

The poster To Look Inside (Hamlet) presents a new and minimalist Hamlet play created by Paper Theater Collective, a small independent theater company based in Hollywood. They needed a poster to reflect the essence of this modern version of a classic: what lies inside the main character in the play. A folded piece of paper inspired by the name of the company becomes the center of the composition, supported by the phrase that governs this psychological staging, a bent man looking inside himself and losing his head with this action.

“I think that a bentman looking inside himself and losing his head with this action may be a decent approach to the subject/theme… but, it’s just my opinion.” says Erick.

Poster Monday: I Prefer Goya to keep me awake than any asshole

Dani Rabaza born in Zaragoza, Spain in 1981, is our first Poster Monday designer of the day. After working in screenprint workshops, printing houses and graphic design studios he started his own studio, called Münster.

Dani has been designing posters even before he studied graphic design, making them for his own bands shows. When he started his studio, posters were (and still) a big part of his job, since the studio specializes in music related design (record sleeves, posters, t-shirts, etc). “I really love the format, the way you have to go to the core of the idea and the relationship between the image and the text” says Dani.

The poster I Prefer Goya to keep me awake rather than any asshole was commisioned for Perro de Compañía, a new theater company based in Zaragoza, Spain. The company has an avantgarde philosophy and they wanted to avoid the classic theater poster. The play, also, has a very punk edge and it´s pretty irreverent. Goya acts like a starting point, as an historical reference of the critique to society and morality. Dani used the owl as a Goyesque symbol as the Company didn’t want to use the human figure of the artists.

PosterMonday: New Day

The first Poster Monday of the day belongs to the Poster New Day, designed by Rasool Haghjoo from Iran.
The poster is about a drama writing festival. Each year Persians celebrate the new year on the 1st day of the spring, and this day is called “NOROOZ”.
In the Norooz, each persian family has a “HAFTSIN” (HAFT=7 SEVEN and SIN=S-word). The meaning of haftsin is “Seven S”. Persian people collect seven things on the table, which names start the with (S) word in Persian language, and have a special cultural.
These objects are:
1 – Sekkeh = Coin
2 – Sib = Apple
3 – Senjed = Sea-buckthorn
4 – Somaq = Sumac
5 – Samanoo = Kind of dish prepared from the juice of germinating wheat
6 – Serke = Vinegar
7 – Sabzeh = Fresh Green Grass

Other important symbolic objects are “Mirror”, “Quran”, “Hafiz Book” and most important to any other symbols is the GOLD FISH, which symbolizes life.

The festival begins in Norooz and because of that, Rasool used the most important symbol of Norooz object, the fish, in his poster. For him in the play, the writer gives “life” to the characte.

Rasool Haghjoo is graphic designer, photographer, drama writer, theater director and actor. He is a member of ITPODA Iranian Theater Poster Designer and Member of ICOGRADA-IDA IRAN.

We invite you to take a look at the full series and more amazing work from Rasool by visiting his personal website
