Iranian poster design emerged as a powerful visual medium. Initially focused on cultural promotion—such as film, theater, and gallery exhibitions—it evolved into a sharp tool for political commentary. Designers fused traditional calligraphy, religious symbolism, Persian miniature painting, and modernist layout techniques to create layered and unmistakably local works. The results were bold, poetic, and emotionally charged.
As the Iranian Revolution gained momentum, there was an explosion of graphic expression. Posters became street-level communication, utilized by activists, artists, and collectives to call for change. These designs were not neutral; they served as visual protests. They carried deep cultural memory, often referencing Islamic iconography, themes of martyrdom, and oral storytelling traditions to mobilize people across generations. 0 reply
