Gunter Rambow
F or Rambow poster is a medium critical sociocultural, humanist and a way to protest commitment. I believe that everything I have done in my life has been a response to my environment: to socio-political concerns but also to simple matters with which I have placed myself in a dialogue or a context. Individual communication can only take place when it has a socially meaningful basis. Otherwise it is just decoration and tinsel.

I always limit my coverage proposals single ingredient: a pattern or typography. Limiting options, restricting the possible, I feel more creative. I am one of those people who go crazy if too many choices available to them. For example, I like restaurant menus that offer only two choices. Otherwise I'm afraid!
