“When designing a poster for a commercial campaign, many people have an influence on the final shape of the work, so the end result is always a form of compromise. When I design a poster only for myself (or a private commission), I have full control over the creative process from start to finish.”...

Studio Sfery — Warsaw, Poland
What differences have you found between designing posters as part of a campaign and designing one on its own? “The main difference is that the first one contains visual decisions that affect other touchpoints of a campaign. In our practice, the poster turns into a kind of battlefield, where we test our ideas, so it’s often a starting point for...
Democràcia Estudi — Valencia, Spain
“A good poster has to serve three purposes: to have a good read (both from near and far), not to expire (to endure and remain good for many years), and to communicate with few elements. Beyond containing different elements such as typography, illustration or photography, one of them should always predominate.”...
Peng Cheng — Shenzhen, China
“Designing campaign posters is like writing essays on given topics, because they both serve set themes. As a result, the whole creative process needs to be crafted around the topics. However, individual posters are more expressions of personal consciousness. My personal works are a repository of inspiration, expressing my ideas and outlook, and inspiring the creation of the campaign posters.”...
Linus Lohoff — Barcelona, Spain
“With commissioned work you have some parameters to communicate — the occasion, the time, the brand, etc. You are dependant on the clients’ needs. With designing self-initiated posters you have much more freedom and you can communicate whatever you like.”...

Umut Akkan — Istanbul, Turkey
“It should be a memorable visual and a structure that correctly expresses the message. I think a good poster has the right expression, no matter what language it’s designed in. The visual perception of the idea by the viewer regardless of language reveals the power of graphic design.”...
Daria Polushkina — Moscow, Russian Federation
“I always try to choose a customer with whom I feel comfortable to work, without destroying my style and method of work. I take the work that resonates with me, something that I would like to do and get a good result from.”...
Supernulla Creative Studio — Marcello Raffo, Marco Venturi, Nicolò Tromben & Cecilia Murgia — Italy/Germany/France
“Designing a campaign involves creating and designing different assets on different media. This entails much more research and study, even though it is unique and connected. In this case, the design of a poster for a hypothetical campaign should go hand in hand with the design of the various media. The poster is part of a whole and must be...

Julia Miceli Pitta — London, UK
“When you have to make a poster for a campaign, you must take into account a concept previously developed. For example, if you need to create a poster for a movie, you need to understand not only what the movie is about, but also what the directors wanted to communicate in terms of senses: feelings, time, colour palette, movement and...
