WHY Graphic Design Festival is calling for poster design submissions for its ’Physically Distant, Socially Connected’ Poster Contest.
With this poster contest inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, WHY Graphic Design Festival in Florence invites all creatives to contemplate the notion of physical and social distancing, to give tribute to the moments of connection and solidarity, and to celebrate our unbreakable human unity.
Since early March, the phrase that we could hear everywhere was the call to keep the social distance.
To stay away from each other is the hardest thing for human beings, as it goes against our nature, especially when it comes to difficult times. The natural survival instinct pushes us to stay together. When we are afraid, or under stress, when we are going through a hard change in our lives we lean on our beloved ones, we hold hands and hug, we talk and try to support each other. Being present for one another in the moment of hardship is one of the most important functions of the community.
With this poster contest, organiser invites all creatives to contemplate the notion of physical and social distancing, to give tribute to the moments of connection and solidarity, and to celebrate our unbreakable human unity.
