Posterzine Issue 75 | Shawna X & Ballantines

posted by Robyn Pitts January 5, 2022

The very special 75th edition of Posterzine is a toast to the new limited edition bottle and creative collaboration between Ballantine’s – Europe’s best-selling Scotch whisky – and visual artist Shawna X. With their limited-edition bottle design and striking installations around the world, Ballantine’s and Shawna X are injecting colour and bringing joy into communities around the world.

Ballantine’s has always been true to its authentic roots, and this latest collaboration is a testament to the power of positivity and community spirit in the face of what’s been a tough 2 years the world over. Shawna X (the creative and artistic practice of New York based creative, Shawna Xiayun) brings her vibrant and graphical approach to image-making to the project.

Issue 75 of our monthly poster-come-zine publication is proudly sponsored by Grafik. Grafik is a creative platform that features the world’s leading graphic design and visual culture. Having launched as a bi-monthly magazine in 2003, it went on to become one of the most popular design magazines in print. Unfortunately, Grafik has ceased to exist as a printed publication since 2011, however in 2014 Grafik was reborn entirely online and currently runs as a growing online platform to support and publish the work of upcoming and established designers, typographers, and visual artists. With the help of the global design community, Grafik intend to return as a printed publication.

This awesome issue was printed by Pressision Ltd using CMYK onto quality G.F Smith paper.
