Joseph Binder believed that the work of a graphic designer always has an impact on society, the economy, and the reception of the product itself. Graphic design adds value and can develop a distinctive voice. This year’s theme “Show your Color” by the graphic design collective so-super.com refers to this philosophy by encouraging designers to show the tonality, and the origin of the individual design language in their work. The typography-based and reduced design concept of the Joseph Binder Award 2024 highlights the importance of typeface in Binder’s work. It plays with format, form, rhythm and volume to create awareness and space for a colorful international illustration and graphic design scene.
The Joseph Binder Award is an international competition and showroom with a focus on graphic design and illustration and was first launched in 1996 by designaustria, the interest organization and knowledge centre for design in Austria. It is named after one of the most outstanding graphic designers and illustrators active in Austria, who subsequently also revolutionized visual communication in the United States.
