100 Beste Plakate: Slanted's Tactical 25th Yearbook

The 100 Beste Plakate yearbook returns with a tactile logistics concept. It frames regional poster designs within a structured, raw packaging design.

Designed by Berlin-based designers Ira Ivanova and Lou Hillereau, the book mimics a shipping parcel. The cover consists of unbleached grey cardboard, contrasted by bright green and orange stickers. Multiple printed tape bands wrap around the spine and edges. This approach elevates standard packaging into a structured graphic system. The layout reflects the raw aesthetic of the 100 Beste Plakate competition. It creates compositional tension between utilitarian logistics and refined editorial design. Treating the book as a parcel establishes a clear structural hierarchy. This layout choice reflects the physical distribution of print. The visual rhythm of the cover sets a tone of raw, industrial utility.

The Tactile Evolution of 100 Beste Plakate

The layout inside maintains this utilitarian concept. Heavy paper stocks and visible thread stitching emphasize the object quality of the publication. Typographic scaling is precise, combining small sans-serif captions with bold display elements. The color palette relies on off-white paper and dark gray fields. A single orange label acts as a deliberate chromatic accent. This chromatic restraint ensures the winning posters remain the primary focus. Every page shows a disciplined grid system. It accommodates varied visual styles without losing structural coherence. This volume documents the winners of the annual competition. The editorial design transforms the 100 Beste Plakate collection into a physical archive.

This publication reflects the ongoing evolution of poster design in the German-speaking regions. Slanted Publishers continues to support the competition by printing high-quality yearly compilations. By focusing on physical materiality, the book challenges the dominance of digital-only media. The 100 Beste Plakate yearbook remains a tangible document of contemporary graphic trends. It serves as a valuable resource for design professionals and collectors. This book is a vital record of regional communication design.
