This is your chance to take part in the Graphic Design Festival Breda! This year the Poster Project is fully open to participation by seniors, startups, students and autodidacts. We challenge you to show off your talent. Design a poster and submit it before February 7, 2014.
A selection of 50 entries will be shown during the festival as part of an international outdoor exhibition in the city center of Breda.
Brief
Graphic designers connect ideas, information and people. This is a great responsibility in a world where image affects people's behaviour and opinions. Using the maker revolution, financial crisis and social media uprising as an inspiration we can create transparant, sustainable and honest concepts for the future. As a designer you can contribute to this process by visually reviewing, researching, reflecting and reconnecting to political, economical, ecologic and social challenges. We ask you to display a personal way of handling these contemporary challenges and share this with a wide audience.
You’re free to choose a subject, but we challenge you to take on one of these attitudes:
Poet
You add a personal touch to everyday reality. Your visualization triggers the viewer's imagination.
Journalist
You reflect on news creating a compact and comprehensible context for today’s topics.
Scientist
You dissect complex systems to create a transparent view on our environment.
Agitator
You provoke public debate shaping the viewer's personal opinion.
The poster does not serve as an announcement for the festival, but your design encourages discussion, presents a solution, calls for action or shows a different view on a contemporary challenge that you experience. Please keep in mind that the winnng posters are exhibited in public space.
