Here is my list of poster designers in Taiwan, in preparation for my trip to Taiwan next month. The selection is quite arbitrary - people I met, names that I could remember, posters that stuck in my mind, information that I found in the POSTER BIBLIOGRAPHY, recent prize winners and so on - so if you are not on this page don't panic, send me your poster, a photo, and a short biography. Thanks to all the contributors, and especially to Apex Lin Pang-Soong for his longtime support.
