9. United Designs Liechtenstein 2017 Botschaften an die Menschheit Internationale Plakatausstellung Our world is in crisis because we are losing ‘Love and Forgiveness’ over desire for properties. The greed leads us to not trust and care for our neighbors and livings in the world. This exhibition is a collection of the messages — Love and Forgiveness — to us to realize our coexistence in this fragile world. Each nation and culture has positive quotations about ‘Love and Forgiveness’ that are designed to bring a better understanding about themselves as the responsible citizen in the society.

These outstanding posters are based on those particular cultural quotations around the world. Each designer expresses the message through the typography of his or her own writing system. Most importantly, all participants share their kindness with a good heart. All visitors will realize our existence in the world from the exhibition of the designers’ personal experiences. Furthermore, we hope that both designers and visitors will practice ‘Love and Forgiveness’ to make this world a safe and harmonious place for our next generation.

About United Designs Alliance

UDA History United Designs Alliance established as an international design exhibition since 2004. The exhibition seeks to establish an international visual communication design and education network; to understand distinctive design collections; and to exchange ideas on visual communication design practice, education, and culture. As an initiative, the UDA seeks to make unique approaches by gathering designers around the world. It does not look at differences as a barrier for creativity, but as an opportunity for bringing creativity to an intellectual level.

UDA Vision UDA strives to explore visual communication and expressions in the global culture. As the international design organization, we commit our responsibilities for adopting, collaborating, creating, impacting, influencing creativity to the intellectual level and to the cultural interaction.

UDA Mission UDA is a celebration of global awareness between education and profession in visual communication design. We, as cultural and visual cultivators, contribute our creativity to manifest the global culture. We, as educators and professionals, develop our identity to strengthen our profession. Most of all, we contribute and share our creativity without prejudice against color, convention, culture, economy, education, history, nationality, race, religion, sex, skill, and social status.
