News: Posters from muslim designers in Iran

A group of muslim designers from Iran called my attention to an exhibition and website of religious posters they have organized. They write All of the artists that contribute in this exhibition send their work completely free, without any financial benefit. All of the posters have no sign and no name . Actually it was a spiritual exhibition.

Their web site www.shiaartist.com explains that in their opinion, the purpose of a poster is to promote the greater glory of God, not commercial or financial or personal gains.

See a discussion of this strict interpretation of graphic design in the context of "national identity" in an earlier News.
