Urban activism at it's best: Manuel Kreuzer’s poster tribute to Passau
Manuel Kreuzer, a graphic designer from Passau, Germany shares the same passion like we do. Type.
Bringing his love for graphic design into the streets of his hometown, Kreuzer introduced his “Passau Posters” project on September, 2016. The design rules were as simple as they should.
“I designed one poster per week for an event that I chose and provided the poster in print resolution on the website www.passau-posters.de for free” he says of his inspiring urban activism.“The posters were designed exclusively in black and white besides included only fonts”.
The project gave him scope for exploring creative boundaries between visibility and legibility. On the other hand, Kreuzer wanted to prove how effective writing and typography can be - without picture or color - in the poster form he adores.
Ever since the launch of his idea Kreuzer has created 52 posters. The project came to an end on August 2017 and since then Kreuzer’s introduction to Passau make his hometown a place to visit asap.
