No Bee No Human
Mexico Poster Biennial, 2024
Click the image to view in colour. In this design, the red honeycomb becomes a warning sign – the hexagonal cell that serves as storage vessels for honey, as well as homes to raise young bees is under threat. Red for warning and red for stop. It's time to stop and reroute. Bee's lives and human's lives are intricately related. Without bees our ecosystem collapses. The text was extracted from the United Nations Environment Programme website under the story 'Why Bees are Essential to People and Planet'.
The Human Beast
Poster Design, 2024
The pair of posters presents a collection of literary passages depicting scenes of domestic violence. What a surprise, our cultural texts abound with unhealthy love. The posters raise questions, on one hand, in a positive way — can literary fiction develop empathy and help us better understand reality? By reading the texts, one can feel the psychological torture of the fictional characters. Words become images and emotions. On the other hand, could our writers have a negative impact on our collective thinking? In some excerpts, we can observe the normalisation and even eroticization of scenes depicting forced conjugal violence. The typographic character chosen to compose the texts of this poster is Elizabeth ND — one of the first characters designed by a woman, Elizabeth Friedlander, in the early 1930s. The lettering character is PicNic from the young French foundry Velvetyne.
