Baugasm Exhibition | TGD vol. 03

Graphic design is a discipline in constant development: supports and medias change everyday; messages and purposes are always changing, the experimentation constantly moves towards the supports that are available at the moment, both technological and expressive. Baugasm, Vasjen Katro’s project, is the perfect example of this ever-changing world: Katro designs and posts on Instagram a poster every day, for over two years. Some years ago those posters would have been just some ideas on papers, now they can be seen from thousands of people everyday. His posters range from showing everyday events to pure experimentation, expanding the limits of visual communication itself. The format of the “everyday poster” soon became a trend replicated by hundreds of designers, and now it is the manifesto of graphic experimentation and visual communication in the age of social networks.
