Artist Ingrid Keller with Swiss design Firm Gottschalk+Ash Int’l (above) released an enthralling series of Athens display dummies that have been dressed for a museum exhibit at the archeological collection at the University of Zurich. Her intent, she wrote, was to merge the aesthetics of ancient civilization with modern design. The result? A timeless collection that demonstrates the vitality of design throughout the ages. The collection has been submitted to this year’s Poster Annual 2015.

Stephan Bundi’s recent submission, “Barbaren” (above) to our Poster Annual 2015 is yet another reminder that the bold Swiss designer remains not only an established presence on the international poster scene, but is also still able to stun viewers and design enthusiasts with a new direction. A Berne-based designer and art director, Bundi studied graphic design, book design and illustration at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart. He has since gone on as an art director who combines unconventional ideas with practical Swiss tradition. Bundi founded design agency Atelier bundi AG, where his clients have included Amnesty International, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, IBM Advertising, Nikon and Michel Jordi, among others. Stephan Bundi is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) and president of AGI-Switzerland.
Bundi is a consistent Graphis winner who has been represented in our Poster Annual 2013 as a Platinum and Gold winner.
