The coronavirus pandemic caught everyone off-guard and forced people to change the way they led their lives in 2020. The creative landscape has also been drastically shifted, as seen in graphic design company 99designs’ international report. Now, the platform has enlisted nine designers to come together and create motivational posters to keep people going after a challenging year.

The Never Be Afraid To Do You! poster by Super South Studios encompasses the power of self-acceptance and following your dreams, even during a pandemic.

In Nida Mars’ illustration Achievement Unlocked, the designer pats everyone on their backs for making it through the tumultuous year. “This motivational poster is inspired by 2020. If you survived it, you can survive anything,” Mars said of the design.

Ocelittle’s Don’t Swipe concept takes a cheeky dig at how people were looking forward to 2020 without knowing what was in store. The design showcases a dating profile of COVID-19 with emojis suggesting the disapproval of masks and the desire to travel across the world. It pretty much echoes the saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”

M.arta’s Good Things Ahead exudes the optimism for 2021. The designer also emphasizes the importance of resilience during these tough times. “I used a clover to remind us about one of the few positive and very important aspects of the pandemic: improving the condition of our planet and people’s awareness of climate change,” the designer detailed about the concept.
