Every year the 100 Beste Plakate e. V. association awards prizes to the creators of the most
innovative and groundbreaking poster designs from Germany Austria and Switzerland. The
yearbook which is developed by different graphic designers and design studios each year
presents all the winners and their designs in detail. It has become the key indicator of trends
for creatives and advertisers alike. Studio lindhorst-emme+hinrichs has designed the current
yearbook as an ever-changing unique volume. Ten different colored papers are used in different
combinations: as a result the cover as well as the front and back endpapers never have the
same color and each copy is unique. The central focus of the book is on the poster designs for
the art and culture center Neubad in Lucerne some of which have reached an iconic status. Over
the years the Swiss province has become a hotbed of avantgarde design. More than 80 graphic
designers have created around 550 posters for the Neubad to date 23 of them have received
awards in recent years being ranked among the 100 best posters.
