Blank Poster

posted by Anna February 15, 2018

Blank Poster is a platform that invites any form of creative to participate in their project of creating a poster from a random generated word. The word given is the common guideline for all the participants, which provides total freedom to all you guys out there. Each participant has a week to make the poster and submit before it changes to a new word the week after – several submissions are always welcome as well as animated posters!

A reminder that briefs can be fun and spontaneous, this is a platform fully focused on creativity and fun, offering up an opportunity to create, get inspired and to share without any form of restrictions or curation. Essentially, each participant really gets to the getting-your-hands-dirty process of experimentation. Everything is allowed, everything is welcome – Just as long as it follows the one word brief.

Blank Poster has more than 186 weeks of random generated words and has received more than 5000 posters over its time. They have hosted three exhibitions so far in Germany, Norway and Switzerland and plan on hosting one more this year.

You can have a look at their website here. There is a section where you can have a look at all the different words that have been generated so far, some of my faves being avocado, hologram, nonsense, ring, search, and trip (there’s so many to choose from!).
