The story or comment needs to be communicated to the audience in a bold, simple and beautiful way. It needs to be smart and beautiful. And last, a good poster needs to come from the heart, it needs to be honest.
Antonio Castro
Simplicity, timeless design/graphic representation and universality of message while at the same time creating a dynamic, vibrant, new solution.

I believe if it’s done well poster design provokes discussion, thinking, emotion. That may look not enough to transform the world, but that’s how art works: it has the power to change perception and increase empathy.
principles of good poster design: 1. Complex simplicity. This applies to both form and content. 2. Clarity of thought. By this I mean to really understand the issues you depict and to be able to translate that into graphic language. 3. Mastery of artistic skills. Without that even the most clever idea means nothing
