Slanted Publishers is an independent publishing house based in Karlsruhe, Germany and focusing on projects and publications in the field of graphic design, typography, illustration and photography.
Slanted.de is a weblog that has typography and design as its topic. Founded in 2004 it has grown into one of the most important design portals and discussion forums in the German-speaking area. It informs its readers about international design trends and events day by day in numerous categories and is always in tune with the zeitgeist of design and typography.
Both blog and magazine encourage and call for a debate on these subjects as an experimental field. Earlier this year they released a book called “Posters Can Help.” Here is what they have to say about this book.
Global dramas can lead us to question our own credibility and the significance of our own lives and/or actions. Recent events in Ukraine have led us, the Slanted team, to ask what our work is really for? Can we accelerate the transition to a sustainable, fair, and just society through the power of design?
With a global call, we invited the design community to contribute with a piece of work and a donation. 434 people from all over the world participated in this project and almost 700 posters were submitted. All the proceeds have been donated to two select organizations that we appreciate for their work: ARTHELPS and MSF—Médecins Sans Frontières.
We believe in the problem-solving power of design. We want to work every day towards a vision of the world that is sustainable, inclusive, equitable, and safe. This book is an effort to bring the global creative community together to take a small but valuable step towards solving the big problems of our time.
