🚀 POV: The Power of Murals – Lessons from a Guadeloupe Masterpiece 🇬🇵 Murals are more than just art on walls—they’re stories told in color, scale, and emotion. The Guadeloupe mural is a perfect reminder that design, whether on a canvas, a screen, or a wall, is about impact, message, and connection. Here’s what we can learn from this mural and apply directly to graphic design: 🔹 1. Scale creates presence Large murals dominate the space and capture attention instantly. In design, bold headlines, striking visuals, and strong hierarchy serve the same purpose. 🔹 2. Colors carry culture The mural reflects the identity and spirit of Guadeloupe. Similarly, thoughtful color choices in design communicate mood, culture, and brand personality. 🔹 3. Storytelling is everything A mural isn’t random—it’s a narrative. Every element adds to the story. Great design does the same by blending imagery, text, and layout to guide the audience. 🔹 4. Public art = accessibility Murals are open to everyone; they democratize art. In graphic design, clarity and simplicity make your message accessible to a wider audience. 🔹 5. Context shapes meaning A mural in Guadeloupe has a different impact than the same artwork elsewhere. In design, knowing your audience and cultural context makes your work more relevant. 🔹 6. Emotion drives connection Whether it’s pride, joy, or wonder, murals evoke emotion. In design, emotional resonance is what turns a simple visual into a memorable experience. ✨ Key Takeaway: Murals remind us that design is not just decoration—it’s communication, storytelling, and cultural expression. Whether on a wall or a website, the principles remain the same: scale, color, context, and emotion matter. 👉 Follow me Learn Graphic Design for more creative insights, design lessons, and inspiration to sharpen your design mindset. #LearnGraphicDesign #Murals #DesignInspiration #CreativeProcess #ArtAndDesign #StorytellingThroughDesign #CreativityUnlocked #VisualCommunication #CultureInDesign #DesignerLife

Great news: ENTR, the pan-European media initiative coordinated by DW, enters its fifth phase in October 2025, continuing for another 14 months with support from the European Commission, DW, France Medias Monde, and other partners. This new chapter, titled "ENTR – what's next?!," will focus even more on TikTok to reach young audiences where they are, while DW plans closer collaboration across language and specialist teams to refine formats and boost content production. Partnerships remain key: Marie-Christine Saragosse, Chair and CEO of France Médias Monde, recently visited DW in Berlin to meet with newly appointed Director General Barbara Massing and the ENTR team — a strong signal of collaboration among Europe's international broadcasters. Since its launch in 2021, ENTR has become a hub for young Europeans, sparking dialogue on today's most pressing issues. 📱 Find ENTR on:  ➡️ TikTok https://lnkd.in/erf3TUDS  ➡️ Instagram https://lnkd.in/edwqqXuy ➡️ YouTube https://lnkd.in/e-sStkHq
