Some inspirations from the posters all over the world


Are we all short-sighted?
Money,life-partner, relationships wiv others, nature...
Wt is the most important thing in our life?



This poster is from Israel, so i think it relates to world peace or at least peace within Middle East. I like it coz every alphabet tells us sth. Like the alphabet 'E', a grave can be imagined, like many ppl have died in the conflicts and wars. 'D' shows the ugliness of human nature. The face is full of hatred and disguist. 'A' reflects the conflicts and wars between 2 countries or 2 ideologies or religions. But i think the designer is optimistic as there are some positive elements in the poster. 'Y' shows 2 ppl holding hands together and 'I' is a peaceful and lovely scene where birds are happily sininging on the grass:)
I try to reflect this slogen in my life. I think i dun try hard enough, like my studies or my relationship wiv others. Sometimes im selfish n lazy.
Thx 4 the reminder:)



This is one of my favourite. Karl Marx(the founder of communistism)and plastic bags
Wt is the relation between the 2?
Karl Marx believed that communistism can create a better world, but is it reli the case? Is it like an invention like plastic bags?
Are we living better wiv the idea of communistism or hving plastic bags?
Or do they create more harm than good to human beings?
It is nice that the poster puts communistism and plastic bags in the same context.
I think communistism is an ideal which wont be fully achieved in the reality. This ideology reli does hard to human beings, like the civil wars, destruction of env (it makes me think of the sad history in modern China). But some ppl still believe in Communistism and it can create a better world where ppl r equal and property can be disturbuted equally. Maybe it's just a utopia.
Plastic bags do harm to the nature as it's hard to incinerate but at the same time, it creates convenience:) It's gd to know that ppl now use less plastic bags and bring their own bags to go shopping.

Some other nice posters:


Eyebrow, Eye, nose, mouth!
It's quite cool to notice that there r eyes from ppl over the world! Double eyelid and single eyelid, men and women, wiv glasses and without glasses.
Noses and mouths are in different sizes and shapes:)



This is a Polish film abt 2 men and a woman. But without any background of this film, i think the poster shows a man n a woman kissing. My fd suggests that the red thing is the tounge of the woman (which looks like a snake)He said the Chinese proverb 最毒婦人心.I think he is pretty creative:) Acc to the bible, tounge is the most evil part of our body coz though it's small, it can hurt others easily.
If u r interested, u can watch the trailer of the film in Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaBa2Wj3gHk





I just like the design!





The black one states Mahler's last breath. The poster shows an incomplete butterfly (one of its wings is broken) Mahler died in his young age when he was composing his 10th Sympohny. His life was tragic, his daughter died during young age and his heart was defective which caused him to death. He always feel incomplete in his composition and felt inferior to Beethoven and other composers.

The red one states Mahler's love. I quite like this poster which is composed by many red hearts. It's like flowers as well. Love is the great passion to Mahler to compose. Though he lost his first daughter and got illness, his wife supported him and encouaged him to compose. At the last years, he still worked hard on his symphonies and he became famous and confident.



Duno y i think of 詹瑞文 when i saw this poster!
A human head wiv a Arabian hat, pinapple beard n butterfly wings:0
check the designer background a bit:
'色彩魔術師 – Keiichi Tanaami(田名網敬一)於1965初次製作動畫片"戴面具的魁儡們",1968年獲卡通動畫技術賞,1975年任日本版playboy美術指導,現任日本京都造型藝術大情報設計系主任'
'他原創性的視覺風格、獨特的用色和混合了夢境與記憶的迷幻式圖像,對觀看的人產生了巨大的沖擊與震撼,不斷挑戰著觀者的視覺神經。人稱“視覺的魔術師”的他游走于混沌奇想的意識世界中,捕捉腦中閃現的幻覺與記憶,用各種形式拼貼、轉化、反覆、混雜映射出心理奇幻的視覺圖像。有別于西方“超合理主義”的思維,田名網敬一試圖探尋非日常的種種心靈幻像,他所描繪的不是美好真實的世界,而是被一種莫名趨力扭曲的認知體驗。'
A blogger said he also designed Uniquo T-shirt:) Maybe i bought one be4:)
One of his exhibitions in Singapore: http://www.juksy.com/?p=93517
