Being selfcentered harbours the risk of not being able to understand other viewpoints and positions.

Making pictograms visible in urban areas of feelings and thoughts of those who left their home countries and live in a new country is the aim of migrantas. Key elements and similarities between the experiences of migration are emerging after a careful analysis of drawings from various workshops. The central motifs are graphically and artistically implemented by migrantas in pictograms – a visual, understandable language for all.

None of them did. Trapped in a net of unscrupulous and avaricious human traffickers, all over the world hundreds of thousands women are accompanied by pain and anxiety – their whole life.

My poster explores the absurdity of a life centered almost entirely around work—caught in the daily grind of a labor-driven society where we rarely ask why we do what we do.
Instead of living, we simply function, day in and day out, following the motto: Work, work, build a house.

The central image is based on a photograph I took in Reykjavík, Iceland—of a stone statue with a massive boulder crushing its head. To me, it symbolizes the weight of societal expectations. I colored it pink in my poster—representing the illusion we often live in, trapped in a bubble of labor, consumption, and conformity.

Mickey spies children without parental consent The Walt Disney company has been fined to pay 3 millions dollars after that the Federal Trade Commission discovered that the Walt Disney company collected illegally informations about children registered on a children Disney website. About 1 million of children are concerned. This informations were used and published by an another Walt Disney online games website. For the americans laws, a website needs the parental consent if it want to collect, use or publish them. The FTC was very strong on this subject, telling that this kind of infractions are very serious and severely punished.

The poster shows an another unknown face of Walt Disney. Mickey is black, dirty, frightening with this big dripping sentence written on it, taken from the fiction “1984″ written by Georges Orwell telling the story of a supervised, secured and undercontrol society. This poster speaks about an another aspect of the “wonderful world of Walt Disney”!

The poster East/West was created with current events in the East in mind. I can confidently say: “Nothing changes in the East.” The central idea was to show two directions—an arrow pointing west and another east—as a kind of warning. The rocket symbolizes ongoing conflict on many fronts: racial, ethnic, and religious. Stop war!

National and international turmoil has divided our political landscape and given way to right-wing parties. We must band together to create positive change!

Truth is difficult where anyone is easily satisfied.

Over cutting of human beings will eventually lead to the disappearance of forests.

YES WE SCAN! Sounds quite right, but obviously isn’t. President Obama’s claim changed its true meaning tragically overnight, when the whistle was finally blown. Mind the Gap!

I’m afraid. I’m afraid, My mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a… fraid.

This poster is a call to action: Don’t look away. Don’t stay silent. Get involved. Getting involved doesn’t mean having perfect answers—it means taking a stand. Asking questions. Standing up. Raising your voice, even if it trembles. Don’t be intimidated. Get involved. Because silence is not an option.

Everyday the media provides information from all over the world. Whether plane crashes or breast augmentation, nothing remains unmentioned. Because of the large amount of information there is no more time to question the content. Did it really happen? Is the image real? Who wrote the article? How precise was the research? Is the statement true? We should not trust everything the media presents us.

Female genital mutilation is a terrible situation for women, especially in Africa.
In this procedure knifes, razors or scissors are used.

The UN Has Lost All Credibility. United Nations climate summit turned to  war of the poor and the rich. Discrimination was made for interests of the rich at the summits.

Posters are made to transport certain information. Nowadays the free or politically motivated posters are decreasing. What we are left with are rejoicing advertisements and cheap ampaign slogans. My poster deals with this subject matter. Ambiguously arranged typography prompts to leave the everyday comfort zone behind and begin to challenge the information and pictures we are fed.

The case of Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old black teenager recently killed in Florida by George Zimmerman (an armed neighborhood watch captain) and the related comments about the dress codes of an especially black and Latin American youth illustrates how the Conservative mind in the U.S.A. works. Guns can never be the problem, so something else must be the problem.

As a graphic designer the basis of my art-work is often world issues that bother me. Recession is one of these matters for which I designed my poster titled Capitalism. Colorful hats are metaphors of a Capitalist society which invisibly deceives its members and as a result, economic pressure is born. The culture industry produces the cultural commodity which is the sale of similar mass produced goods. This industry produces these products based on the human perception of life. The net result is anti-enlightenment or public manipulation to ensure and limit independent thought, thinking, and judgment. All this is achieved by the culture industry while making the masses believe that this is new and exactly what they’re looking for. The result forces the public to conform to the system and capitalism at large and prevents critical thinking.

The poster is about the connection between education and democracy. A fair world is only possible if all people are responsible and capable of understanding and producing content matter. No one may be left out.

The poster is based on the element of the fist, combined with the image of China’s national leader »Xi Jinping«. Xi Jinping is like a pioneer against corruption and wants to form an honest government and thus realizes the great dream of a powerful country.

A dead leaf in the shape of South America and the holes in the leaf represent the deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.

This artwork uses the form of traditional Chinese ink painting to depict grapes made from grenades and barbed wire—symbolizing how the consequences of war bring only suffering and sorrow, like bitter fruit. This sharply contrasts the sweetness usually associated with grapes, merging two opposite sensations into one. It invites the viewer to “taste the bitter fruit of war”—a plea for peace and the avoidance of conflict.

This poster is commenting on the adverse consequences of overfishing and overhunting for human gratification, which often results in the critical endangerment of certain species and puts biodiversity in grave danger.

The right to be treated fairly by people who are in all positions of authority, even any gender is needed to be respect.

The capitalistic exploitation logic steers us increasingly destructive to the abyss of self-destruction. Modern human beings remain in an attitude of passive endurance and seemingly comfortable self-deception, when the alternative would be a necessary revolution. We remain calm as Hindu cows and operate business as usual.

In the last few years the issue of „ tax evasion“ became a central topic in German media. On my poster text 2 letters are missing: CH – the abbreviation for Switzerland.

Every day we have to make many decisions of varying importance. Thanks to e-mail and social media, we are flooded with information and a multitude of more choices. So how can we make the best decision? Do we have the courage to commit ourselves to a decision? Or should we postpone, or even just ignore it? Perhaps with a self-justification that ‘maybe’ a better choice may present itself in the future? This solution seems simple enough for us but yields no added value to the people affected, or does it? For my part I can say that it even pisses me off major league. A ‘maybe’ in itself is not evil and often essential. But it has mutated into a state of mind and a justification towards inaction. Beyond a doubt, this is dangerous. So snap out of lethargy and indifference, make a stand for things that matter and start committing yourselves to your convictions.

This poster is about freedom of speech.
It is the inalienable right of every human being who is denied of his in some countries.
The dove with beak tied is the metaphor of man under pressure that he could not express his opinions freely.

The plot of the poster is the pollution, more specifically, the car exhaust. The unique ambiguity of the (german) title leaves no doubt who the « bad guy » is.
