POSTERS
Czech Commemorative Posters
“Do you hear that? Times are changing…” The first poster on the left (top on mobile) was created for the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. The idea behind the poster is a set of keys—one of which is comprised of the letters ‘OF’, which stood for Občanské fórum—or Civic Forum. The Civic Forum played a pivotal role in transforming the country from a communist regime to a democracy. The set of keys was a popular symbol during the revolution, as peaceful protesters would often wave them in the air to “ring in the new regime”.
The poster on the right (bottom on mobile) commemorates the centennial of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 2018. The poster works with the Czech proverb “střepy přinášejí štěstí” which loosely translates to “shards bring happiness” in reference to when a piece of tableware is accidentally broken. This poster, however, poses this proverb as a hypothetical question, where the shards of the broken plate are shaped as territories of the original Czechoslovak map in 1918. Two territories since 1918 had seceded, the first being Carpathian Ruthenia in 1938, and then Slovakia in 1993.
Tapeography
An experimental typography poster. Each character in the alphabet was created with torn pieces of masking tape, which were painted over and then removed, leaving a natural ripped effect.
A Free & Inclusive Web for All
This poster reflects the battle for a free and open internet. The internet is a public forum where anyone from anywhere can express ideas and contribute the its virtual wealth of knowledge. The poster is meant to reflect this peaceful coexistence of ideas by depicting a dove with a computer mouse.
Remembering Tomáš Baťa
Dual poster set—both of which look back on the success of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa. Tomáš Baťa helped his southern Moravian hometown of Zlín grow by starting Bata—a company which originally manufactured clothing and eventually gained a foothold in other industries—such as the film and automotive sectors—during the early 20th century. The company would eventually expand globally, and would become renowned for their shoes. The Bata company had modernized the factory environment in Central Europe by adopting the assembly line—a feature which Tomas Bata brought to his own factories after his tenure at Ford.
