Tapirulan ha commentato su Voilà the selected illustrators:
Ciao Elijah, in un certo senso hai ragione perché effettivamente negli ultimi anni le illustrazioni di tipo "minimalista" sono generalmente più apprezzate, non solo nel nostro concorso, ma in tutti i settori della comunicazione probabilmente. Ogni anno nominiamo una giuria diversa, che esprime un "gusto" diverso, quindi le scelte sono sempre diverse. Dopo 20 edizioni del concorso possiamo dire che ogni scelta non raggiunge mai l'apprezzamento di tutti, ma il nostro auspicio è che vedendo le 52 illustrazioni nel loro complesso, all'interno della mostra, si possa comunque avere una panoramica variegata e interessante, possibilmente senza scadere nel "banale". Grazie comunque per aver condiviso le tue riflessioni!
