Poster Monday: Seared

For this Poster Monday spot of the day we are featuring the poster “Seared” from Ajay Chandran; a freelance visual communication designer and a practicing calligrapher student of National Institute of Fashion Technology, Bengaluru, India. “I experiment with malayalam and latin scripts. I have a small stint as a product designer as well. Being an accessory design graduate and switching my career to a visual communication designer was a big challenge but helped me heaps in the design process which I still follow. I’m planning to do my Masters in visual communication in the coming years” says Ajay.

The poster “Seared”  ‘തിരിച്ചറിവ് (Thiricharivu) written in Malayalam, can be understood as a synonym for Realization and Enlightenment, It’s an experimental Malayalam typography, treated so as to reflect how individual forms constitute to create a flame, a mental labyrinth, which helps us delve deeper into ourselves to find the truth in ourselves. It’s a flame to keep us afloat in these difficult times. Ajay tells us that “The last few months have been a time for contemplation. I was going through my sketchbook one of these days and chanced upon a sketch I made while I was still in college. That’s when the idea struck me to refine it and make a poster out of it and I think the time was right to convey my thoughts. I wanted everyone to feel the meaning of the word in the process of them actually reading it”.

Poster Monday: Flâneur

For the second Poster Monday spot of May we have a poster from Didem Eriskin entitled “Flâneur”. She was born in Izmir, Turkey on November 23, 1994; after finishing her undergraduate studies in Graphic Design, she started her master’s degree in Art and Design. She is currently working as a research assistant at the Department of Graphic Design at Yaşar University and continues to work as a freelancer. Her works generally consist of experimental typography and produce works in the field of kinetic typographic posters.

Flâneur is a word that means “wandering” in French. The poster was designed with reference to the word “Flâneur”. It was used as a typography tool to emphasize the word meaning of Flâneur, Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s book called Das Passagen Werk. The impression of stepping is designed to give letters and words the feeling of walking. The images used in the poster make you feel the meaning of the word. When we look at the poster, we both read the word Flâneur and see the steps as if there are people wandering around.

The Swiss of Paris Exhibition

Switzerland is well known for their amazing designers, and their impeccable training helps prepare designers for success in the competitive design industry. Swiss graphic designers and typographers from the 1950’s were often given important positions despite their youth. For example, Peter Knapp and Jean Widmer at Galeries Lafayette or Adrian Frutiger at the foundry Typography Deberny & Peignot. Switzerland has a modern training system in design to turn their apprentices into great professionals, but Paris can open many doors for designers to obtain international recognition.

This exhibition shows achievements conceived within international teams and in dialogue with Parisian colleagues. It embraces all kinds of designs of interest, such as editorial design, photography, film, advertising, scenography, visual identity, signage, typography and character creation.

Poster Monday: Ephemeral

Poster Monday: Ephemeral

Poster Monday this week features a experimental typographic design by Kateryna Zabusova from Kharkiv, Ukraine. She is a third-year student of the Master’s Degree program in Graphic design at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the University of West Bohemia (Pilsen, Czech Republic). Kateryba participated in several collective exhibitions, including the exhibition of student posters Where is my home? in 2014 and Hell(p) and Stop Violence Against Women in 2015.

The aim of the poster was to present an experimental typographic project entitled Ephemeral. The assignment was to create a font without using the computer; “I have got an idea that light can be used as a tool to create letters with unique shapes. The fact that light has an ephemeral quality to it served as an inspiration for the poster, the title and the whole project” says Kateryna.

The letters were created with the reflection of a lamp light on a liquid surface. In certain parts of the reflection the light was obscured to create portions of letters. Each letter was captured in a moment when the light formed an identifiable silhouette and then became a vague shape in a few seconds. Such a process has allowed to make unique, unrepeatable images of something that has an ephemeral quality to it. Each letter on the poster is an ephemeral process captured on camera that visually represents the project.

You can find out more about Kateryna Zabusova by visiting her personal page.

Poster Monday: Insomnia

The Poster Monday spot of the day, it’s entitled “Insomnia” and was designed by Julia Monegier Garbuzova from Russia. Julia was born and raised in Rostov-on-Don. She graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Montpellier and now she is the Art director & graphic designer of a small agency in Paris. She loves typographical and hand made posters, like the ones by Peter Bankov and Michal Batory, and is a fan of the Polish poster school.

The poster “Insomnia” is a simple photo, slightly improved in Photoshop. The images was made using UV Black Light. Julia created the poster just after the Nice attack in France “I wanted to do some posters but the ideas didn’t come… I could not concentrate on my work and I was too anxious. Why? Because the fear becomes the part of our daily lives and prevents us to create and live normally” says Julia.

If you would like to learn more from Julia and his work visit his Behance account and his web page.
