We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Vadym Solowski about their original and creative Poster design work. Vadym Solowski is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original poster works.
Vadym Solowski ("VS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work No Signal Poster . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
VS : Inspiration comes from the real life. The idea of a protest against the control of people's lives by governments was growing in me over the past few years. It was when my parents moved to Russia that I started to observe the "world", where "freedom of speech" means: you can say anything you want, but silently; and "private life" means: you can do whatever you want behind closed doors, but for you will spy. People have problems there posting something in social network, just expressing your own opinion can be punished by the "fiction law". It's terrible. Then I was reading a book of George Orwell "1984" and at the same time the events associated with Edward Snowden took place. All these things had an impact on the formation of this project, main poster of which is called "No Signal".
VS : As in other works, I try to show a strong idea in very simple way, based on double meaning, symbolic, playful language. So my goal was to express my idea-protest in very clear and simple way and to share it with the world. I want people to think about what is going on around them, it is important to fight for their right for a private life.
VS : As I told before the idea was growing in me over the past few years, but the concept, how it looks like now, I created during a week at the end of 2015, catching the right way for the visualization.
VS : It is definitely my own project, so it was pursuiting an inspiration.
VS : I will be happy if my work will be published in any printed publication, or be used, for example, for some thematic film festival, but I do not want anyone to use it not as it should. Anyway I am open for proposals.
VS : I think the biggest influence in general on my style and work has Javier Jaen. And a little bit Stefan Sagmeister.
VS : People who value the freedom and the rights for their private life. Progressive people.
VS : A simple symbolic expression of the strong idea in a bright recognizable vizualization.
VS : No Signal (for "Big Brother"). I think, that main image and what I've said before clarify this.
VS : creativity and Adobe Photoshop.
VS : It is not just a poster. It is a protest.
VS : The main challenge for me still exists: I want to share my concept with people all over the world. The other important creative challenge was to express strong idea in a simple, clear way using double meaning and symbolic minimalistic visual language.
VS : I am a young creative, who is looking for opportunities to realize his creative potential.
VS : I am trying to improve myself everyday, and trying to look at usual things in our daily life in unusual way.
VS : The most important result is shown on Main Visual Image and Optional Image #1, simple, but strong communication, properly expressing my "protest". Optional Images #2 and #3 just an extension, just to show, that concept expands its boundaries. The best interaction is to share the idea with others, and to pay attention on what is going on with freedom of private life in other countries. Silence is not an action in this case.
