International Animation Day (IAD) celebrations started in 1982 by ASIFA, the International Animation Association (Association Internationale du film d’Animation). www.asifa.net
- The day marks the founding of Animation in 1892, by Emile Reynaud, in Paris, France (with the first public animation projection)
- It is simultaneously celebrated around the globe, in more than 50 countries, on nearly all continents. ASIFA offers films for exchange, a poster, and other connections
- On this day, October 28, we foreground the Art of Animation, and how it communicates across borders
- Through this celebration, we have a sense of connectedness with other animators around the world, as we spread goodwill, mutual understanding and peace
Each year, ASIFA calls upon an important animator to create the poster for International Animation Day, celebrated on October 28 around the world.
Poster Design Guidelines:
- Delivered digitally – preferably in a Photoshop document that would separate out any text elements from the image elements (if applicable).
- Portrait format
- One Sheet 685.8 x 1016mm or 27 x 40 in
- Resolution of 300 dpi

- Please consider other formatting options in the design. The poster will need to be formatted for internet, phone, Facebook, etc. Which means adapted to landscape format.
