First held in Baden in 1995, Fantoche is now one of the world’s most important festivals for animated film. Since its inception, Bivgrafik from Zurich has shaped its visual identity, designing a new poster for each festival edition featuring a lively two-eyed creature.

For over 100 years, graphic designers have been tasked with conveying major events and extensive content on a small piece of paper: the postage stamp – security paper, everyday item, collectible, valuable cultural asset, and a graphic product.

Afraid of taking the first step? Not our nominees for this year’s Newcomer Award with the theme Start Now! They’ve shown us that starting out doesn’t necessarily have to be difficult, bravely facing the fear of the big, blank poster.

The exhibition 100 Best Posters presents the most exciting posters from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The winners have been selected from a competition and represent the creative exploration of the poster as a medium and the versatile work of the graphic design scene from German-speaking countries.

For the third time Weltformat Graphic Design Festival presents the winners of the international competition Best Book Design from All Over the World. In addition to the book honoured with the Golden Letter, the thirteen further award-winning publications from all over the world will be exhibited.
