In Germany and Austria, bright neon posters are often used to announce big events. They are super simply designed and essentially meant to be disposable and intended primarily to stand out and convey the most important information. After the event, they often fade in the sun or disappear quickly. However, since I find the colors and the whole concept of hyper functional (consume consume consume!) design appealing, I decided to collect some of these posters and create something new and more graphically valuable from them. First, I altered the content by cutting the posters into equally sized triangles. This allowed me to rearrange the shapes according to a self-designed grid. The result was placed on an abandoned billboard in Vienna. Can you recognize what is written now?
