Poster Safari. Good news keeps us afloat
Glad to share this poster for the Poster Safari part of Zurich Design weeks. The theme «Good news» of this Poster Safari resonated with me, but it took time to find the right words to express my feelings. Being Russian today isn’t simple, especially with Ukrainian roots. Almost a year ago, I moved from Moscow to Switzerland. At first, I felt lost — new country, different culture, no friends. I immersed myself in poster-making, sharing on social media, entering competitions, and exploring local job opportunities. Though challenging, the graphic design community's inclusiveness and support really made a difference, and messages of encouragement kept me going. Hence, the message in the poster, “Good news keeps us afloat”. And this message became even more relevant when motion designer Antonin Waterkeyn shared his personal story with me. Visible in the video animation are some messages with good news I received over the months. The last pic in this post shows the observation that started my thought process for this poster.
