Thinking made visible

The Poster Project

Twelve inspiring posters by thinkers from around the world

BARONFIG PROJECT — NEW YORK CITY — IN COLLABORATION WITH 12 ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

THE IDEA

What happens when different minds begin with the same constraints?

We invited twelve illustrators and designers from around the world and gave each an inspiring line, a set format, and a simple shared color palette.

From there, the direction was entirely their own.

The result was a collection of twelve posters — distinct in style, united by a common brief, and made to put inspiring ideas on the wall.

THE BRIEF

Sometimes creativity needs something to push against. Each artist received the same basic framework, everything else was open-ended.

  1. One inspiring line.
  2. One poster.
  3. One shared palette.

THE POSTERS

Each artist transformed their assigned words into an image of their own — turning the collection into a study of how differently the same kind of starting point can be seen.

THE ARTISTS

We chose artists with distinctly different ways of seeing. 

Hand-drawn and vector. Minimal and complex. Illustrative and type-driven. Twelve separate points of view coming together to make one collection.

  • James Gibbs
  • Jen Mussari
  • Matt Chase
  • Melody Newcomb
  • Pablo Pintachan
  • Ricky Linn
  • Trevor Rogers
  • Tuesday Bassen

THE PROCESS

Each design was produced as a limited-edition silkscreen, with just 50 prints made of each poster. The entire collection sold out, with 100% of proceeds going to the visual and silkscreen artists.

    About Baronfig Projects

    Baronfig was built on questions.

    On bringing ideas to life.

    Here you’ll find projects that blur the line between art, design, and philosophy.

    From interactive installations to collaborative design experiments, this is where we explore ideas beyond the page.

    Thinking, made visible.
