Graphis Protest Posters 2

Graphis Poster Annual 2

Throughout history, posters have served as a beacon of hope and change as they’ve encouraged the world to take the time to consider better outcomes and new ways of thinking. What started as communications to draw attention to newsworthy issues has blossomed into a movement that has shaped the way we share concerns and express ourselves. In the decades since, posters have continued to shape generations, social and political movements, and popular culture.

This book presents an extraordinary look through a global lens at key movements in current history that give us pause, a reason to act, and more. With over 250 pages of winning work, this beautiful print book features inspiring creatives that addresses some of the biggest international issues, from global warming to war.
