100 BEST POSTERS 23

MAK Poster Forum

For the 19th time the MAK presents the winning projects in this graphic design competition, one of the leading platforms for contemporary poster design. With their remarkable wealth of typographic approaches and their broad stylistic range, this year’s winning projects function as an exemplary optical review that sets the standard for both European and international graphic design.

Visitors to the exhibition can use the Artivive app to access animated “Moving Posters” on their smart phone or tablet, recognizable in each case by the app icon.
