This poster was designed as a commemorative piece for my parents and the family business that was closed definitively after 27 years of activity. My parents were in charge of it since 1981 but the business went on for more than 100 years, since my great grandfather started it.
They were butchers at the Sant Antoni food market in Barcelona, Spain.
The objective was to thank them for the great effort they made to keep this business running in such hard times as when the BSE (mad cow disease) struck in Europe several years ago,and lots of other times, when economy hasn't been that generous to the small commerce and always help me and my 4 year old brother (at the time) to have an enjoyable life.
The graphical idea was to crate a poster as if my little brother and i had made it together, mixing images of landmarks from Barcelona, a central image of the market facade and a butcher's knife representing their occupation, with pictures drawn by my brother.
The caption reads (in catalan):
"You helped the market grow. You helped us grow. Thankyou."

It was handed to my parents at the farewell party they held on December 31, and they were completely blown away.
Hope you like it too.
