“In a campaign the posters are part of a wider system in which communication works by providing a consistent series of messages. When we design only one, it has the entire responsibility of creating an impact by conveying a bold message to reach the target effectively.”...
Maria Lebedeva — Moscow, Russian Federation
“When creating a series of posters, it is important to consider the overall style and message of the series. It should fully reflect the concept laid down at the beginning of the design. Also, the techniques taken as a basis should go through the entire series of posters. When creating just one poster, you can unleash your creativity and not...
Brando Corradini — Rome, Italy
What differences have you found between designing posters as part of a campaign and designing one on its own? “A very clear difference… I believe they are opposites. Designing a poster as part of a campaign depends on other people, on customers with different ideas and tastes, which often do not align with my vision. Every day is a challenge....
Michal Krasnopolski — Warsaw, Poland
“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.”...

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.”...
