Notes: Ralph Schraivogel (*1960) is one of the best-known poster designers in Switzerland. He has received several awards for his work and has been exhibited in various countries. His work is in the permanent collection of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. From 1983 to 2006 he designed the posters for the Zurich art-house cinema Filmpodium. Until the turn of the millennium, his posters were created without the aid of a computer; they were the result of a patient and protracted process, and were based on countless sketches.

Awards: The poster was awarded for outstanding design and print in the Swiss Poster of the Year competition.
