CHECKOUT TOMORROW

In 2022, AKTO art & design college celebrated its 50th anniversary, and to commemorate this milestone, an art show was organized with the participation of selected former students. Despite the occasion, the show’s theme did not relate to the anniversary, so in consultation with the headmaster of graphic design at AKTO, we decided to embrace the political issues that affect us and the rest of the world and integrate them into graphic design to present them.

To promote the art show, we created two 1x2 meter posters using mixed media and techniques. These posters showcase different styles coming together to form one organic and unrestricted entity without any prior planning.

As a team, we also decided to present an art piece related to the war in Ukraine. We developed the phrase “0 Days Without War” (Greek: 0 ΜΗΔΕΝ and each of us created a letter using any medium of our choice. The phrase was inspired by the need for people to count days for things we do and brag about them, such as “I have gone 10 days without eating meat.” If someone were to count the days without war in the world, they would be stuck at zero. Sadly, as history teaches us, this is not only true of the war in Ukraine but of humanity as a whole.
