Tolerance Posters

Established in 1940, Print Magazine is one of the most influential design magazines. It just announced its   Craft and Creativity 2025 Print Award winners .

They are currently displayed at the youngsters' exhibition at the Museum of National Liberation Maribor. We are expressing our gratitude to the young authors of the selected slogans and posters: Timotej Vališer, Lili Makuc, Til Trinkhaus, Ana Kovše, Idol Vrella, Mia Br...
