Peter Bankov lives and works in Prague, where he makes posters, identities, titles for movies, and films with his wife, Juli. He also runs an eponymous design school in that city. To mark the fifth anniversary of the School of Peter Bankov, much like the film Paris, je t’aime, Bankov created a motion poster anthology comprised of 12 graphic designers—all alumni. Some teamed up with motion designers, while others animated their own visions, each crafting a unique eight-second poster.
No clients, no briefs, “just pure design freedom and gratitude,” writes participant Olga Severina in an email. “Each piece is a personal ode, a moving image and a moment of reflection—all celebrating the mentor who shaped our creative paths.” Personal? Well, last month they were seen by millions of people at the crossroads of the world.
From June 23–29, the project was displayed every hour on the huge LEDs in Times Square, New York City. These animated posters are not only creative works, but living thank-yous “pulsing with the energy Peter taught us to channel into our craft,” Severina writes. And they are part of Times Square’s public art initiative. Congratulations to Bankov, Times Square and us all.
