Note: As we have policy not to show the posters of ones that decided to participate in the competition, we will present only authors motivation for designing the posters and impressions from the workshop.

Aleksandra Rakić

My poster was inspired by the will to recognize I – me in the word IDENTITY. The focus is on the individual itself and unavailability to fight against the chaos in which he is caught.

Igor Delov

My poster represents symbiosis of three elements: question mark (symbol of thoughts, abeyance), human (subject of the identity crisis) and circles (reflection of the quantitative possibility of choice); and all are combining into one dot (human’s head) in order poster to communicate the issue before, or precisely before the topic to be absolved.

Nemanja Trajković

The individual alone is indivisible from the society, respectfully identity is functioning between two extremes. When we move against society processes, we will either face the society or society will face us. The different paths of the individuals are unrecognisable in the crowd when we consider the bigger picture, but even a little shock can result in big waves if the individual manage to find its way to the swarm.

Simona Taneska

Inspiring workshop, inspiring topic and designer who’s fighting spirit, experience and energy captivate the time and the place. For a moment myself and the paper were left alone with “identity crisis”. Series of sketches and ideas were rushing trough and the identity crisis, which is a big challenge we all face, got a visual solution that will push me one step forward. Designing for this issue leaded me to fight against it and getting an answer to the question whatever I should make a compromise between working style and what would others like to see in result.

Sonja Kušumović

I got the inspiration for the poster as an answer to continuous turmoil on the territory of the ex country, where the fight for the alphabet was considered equal to the national identity. For me that is complete nonsense and a way to refocus people attention from real problems. Alphabet is something we should be proud of and using an Latin or Cyrillic alphabet should not be bound to the nation.

Teodora Dośen

I have found inspiration in the contemplation processes that are undergoing in my mind when creative identity is the issue as well in the process of finding language for communication with the public.

I hope it will be understandable…
