About Kostovic’s project
The work was an invitational poster for the Bienal del Cartel Bolivia and a tribute to renowned poster collector, Rene Wanner.
“To make the curved letterforms, I drew them on sheets of transparent foil, rolled the sheets into tubular shapes, then photographed them with a phone. I traced the images’ letterforms with Adobe Illustrator, then colored and arranged them on the poster to spell the name ‘Rene Wanner.’ The multicolor letterforms represent a collection of diverse poster genres with diverse origins,” Kostovic said of the work.
