In the wake of Matteo Messina Denaro's arrest, a seismic event reverberated through Italy and beyond. My purpose was to respond to this momentous development by channeling my creative energies into posters that would provoke reflection, inspire courage, and challenge the culture of silence perpetuated by the criminal's actions.
The Problem
The arrest of Matteo Messina Denaro stirred a storm of emotions, including shock, anger, and a renewed sense of urgency to combat the prevailing fear.
The challenge was to communicate this complex web of emotions through impactful visuals and words that transcended language barriers.
The Solution
In response to the seismic impact of Matteo Messina Denaro's arrest, I crafted a trio of posters, each distinct yet harmonious in their message. These visuals spoke to the shared sentiment of defying fear and silence. The posters, designed in Italian, captured the complexity of emotions stirred by this moment, aiming to inspire reflection, courage, and a collective refusal to cower.
