Ramstein People
The new faces on the Ramstein posters
In 2023, we presented the much-acclaimed ‘couples campaign’ with people who at first glance appeared to be in competition with each other. For our 125th anniversary in 2024, we have produced new highlights of Ramstein poster history. This year, we are returning to our portraits, with personalities who inspire us – and perhaps you too – including a surprise with supersize posters by Jacqueline Loekito.
The posters are kept in two colours to counter the loud and garish surroundings. However, we have come up with something special – and now it's getting a bit nerdy: the posters are printed in duplex, which results in a vibrant, brilliant image, exact colour depths and a print sharpness with the highest level of detail.
