Three different designers in three different locations coexist in one poster.
As in the variations in music, each poster changes the starting point: I+L+R, L+R+I, R+I+L.
The letters, unique in their shapes, fit, adapt, and respect each other.
Furthermore, the posters themselves can exist singularly or coexist.
With this game, we’ve tried to grasp a quite complex term in a simple way.

Symbols of Evil and Good crossing. No fight, no drama, just coexistence.

All of the essentials coexisting in hopefully everyones backpack these days.

Many Countries – one world.
Everything is at stake. So all countries have to go »all in« for a common world.
That is the conceptual background of this poster. Overlapping the different flags, a new symbol for coexistence appears.

Language and how we address and talk to others are crucial. A lot of the time people use certain phrases or words to praise or complement someone but in actuality they’re being racist, exclusive and inconsiderate. For example in Egypt, people might use phrases like “Christian but kind,” “dark-skinned but beautiful,” “low class but smart,” etc. while being completely unaware of how offensive they are.

The posters highlight the word “but” in Arabic because it’s the common problem with all the collected phrases. “buts” can appear healthy and shiny but really they’re rotten and ugly. The phrases can coexist without any “buts.”

Living side by side we often still feel lonely. Lost, invisible, unimportant. Nobody understands us. Nobody has the same problems we have. But if we open our eyes we will see that we are not caught on our selfmade island. Sometimes we just have to make a bigger step to reach somebody. Sometimes we just have to turn around or overcome our fears, we have to make the first step.

This image was constructed bearing in mind the importance of preserving the Amazonian forrest and its indigenous people by right.To coexist is to take action, to learn from our natural surroundings and to be accountable for our choices. We are responsible and capable of creating a new pedagogy by design in order to better understand our function in the world to come.

I no longer want fools to hold our future in their hands.

In order to coexist we most comprehend that every part and detail of this world is connected so we can create a better one for everyone.

Coexistence does not only mean living side by side. For us it is much more: working together, supporting each other, learning from each other. And so these designs are not just the expression of one designer. They are a cooperation. Created in a process, in respectful handling of each other’s work. A constant development of one’s own ideas through new perspectives. With a result that would not have been achieved by oneself.
Value recognize and appreciate each other!

Design by Lisa Panitz and Jonas Herfurth.

A poster where fonts and shapes communicate the meaning of the work coexist.

Note: Printer marks are part of the design. If selected, please exclude bleed in publication.

A light hearted approach to everything going on in the world right now. Odd socks are created different but can come together to coexist in a beautiful manner.

FloodZone is my ongoing photographic project reflecting and responding to the problem of rising sea levels. The project began in 2016, when I moved to Miami, my first experience living in a coastal environment. It was the hottest summer on record. Soon after moving I began to realize how the city’s seductive tropical palette concealed the growing dissonance between its booming real-estate market and the ocean’s encroachment on its territory. Investors seem to turn a blind eye to the reality that places like Miami are steadily slipping underwater. Living in Miami is bittersweet: it looks and feels like a paradise, but the only secure roots belong to mangrove trees.

Überfremdung is a word used by frightened citizens who fear for their German identity.
I stand in opposition, and just as I am sharpening my arguments, a friend of mine tells me she’s received a death threat from one of the dealers.
I look out the window and see raids and arrests. I see desperate, traumatized African men staggering around everywhere. Many are without a safe place to stay and sleep in the park at night. I see mothers, relaxed on the playground with their little children. I hear the enlightened, well-educated fathers talking about the security-problem for their wives and children, as they lie in the sun and inhale deeply.
The guy from Guinea still has the best stuff.

“He had found this picture in an envelope inside a hotel room. There was also a small piece of paper, it had been teared and the meaning got lost. It was sad in a way because the handwriting talked about memory. Something about being able to look through the window and see beyond our own reflections. He glanced at his face in the mirror and wondered if he had ever met the person who wrote this. They had both stayed in the same place after all. Only at a different time.”

During the lockdown, I took several photographs of portraits, plants and abstract shapes with a pinhole camera. I assembled them in this composition and then I imagined the small story above from what it evoked for me.

The first step to make the transition to a more beautiful world is to recognize the opportunity for reinvention. Let’s break down boundaries and co-create a different system. Ultimately we need to change the narrative.
