This mixed-media poster brings to life the iconic quote from Massimo Vignelli: “The life of a designer is a life of fight: fight against the ugliness.” The design is a bold and gritty exploration of the daily struggle for beauty and function in a chaotic world.

At the heart of the composition is a cool, urban figure wearing a hoodie, captured mid-facepalm—a visceral reaction to the ugly, outdated designs that surround us. The poster is physically torn into two sections, revealing a hidden layer beneath, packed with real newspaper clippings of garish and outdated advertisements. This raw juxtaposition highlights the designer’s battle against visual noise and mediocrity.

Fine marker strokes and hand-drawn doodles add texture and a grungy edge, giving the piece an urban, street-art vibe. The layered elements and torn-page effect reflect the complexity and resilience required in the creative process.

This poster is not just a celebration of design—it’s a rallying cry for all who strive to make the world a more beautiful and meaningful place.

I’m Gary Fodor, a Hungarian graphic designer based in the UK, creating unique, mixed-media designs inspired by urban art, street culture, and bold typography.

My work blends creativity with craftsmanship, offering art that’s meaningful, inspiring, and perfect for any designer’s studio or home office.

Made with eco-friendly values in mind, each design goes through a hands-on process of experimentation, combining digital techniques with traditional elements.

Quality and customer satisfaction are my priorities—if you’re ever unhappy with your order, I’ll replace it at no extra cost.
