100 Beste Plakate 25

The new yearbook, 100 Beste Plakate 25, once again features a wealth of outstanding posters selected through the annual competition.

In addition to large-format images with detailed image credits, ten renowned experts from three countries offer their perspectives, exploring the role of posters in today’s media landscape and how traditional posters can continue to thrive alongside ubiquitous digital communication methods. They are René Grohnert, Peter Klinger, Julia König, Anita Kühnel, Christian Maryka, Philipp Messner, Bettina Richter, Helene Roolf, Christina Thomson, and Sylke Wunderlich.

100 Beste Plakate 25 is further enhanced by a contact directory of all award-winning designers, as well as a list of clients and printers.

The yearbook’s concept and design are developed by Ira Ivanova and Lou Hillereau, Berlin-based designers. Reflecting on their design approach, Ivanova and Hillereau describe the concept as follows: “100BP 25 transforms the language of packaging and logistics into a metaphor for communication. The book is conceived as a container, a parcel that reveals its contents while bearing the traces of its journey through labels, tape marks, and stickers. Through this design, the publication celebrates the act of communication, the way in which messages, like parcels, reach their destination.”

Published by Slanted Publishers and edited by 100 Beste Plakate e. V., this volume features forewords by Malte Martin, Fons Hickmann, and Susanne Stahl.

The publication comprises 344 pages in a 16.5×24 cm format and is presented in both English and German. Produced using full-colour offset printing, it features a softcover binding with thread stitching and hot-foil embossing.
