Guess it’s inspired by Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” poster (you you might recognize his work from all those Andre the Giant “Obey” stickers / posters / tags around NYC…). His style borrows hard from the Russian constructivists like Aleksandr Rodchenko.

It’s because it (as well as the iconic “Hope” poster) was designed by Shepard Fairey, who you might recognize from all those Andre the Giant “Obey” stickers / posters / tags around NYC… His style borrows hard from the Russian constructivists like Aleksandr Rodchenko.

Utilities, I hope. I hate National Grid. Has anyone else noticed that they’ve switched to monthly billing as a way to hide the fact that they’re charging you more? They now have an 82 cent “billing charge.” Even if this wasn’t broken out separately before, they’ve still doubled their revenues there via the switch (in addition to the increase cost to the environment of doubling the paper output).
goldie, socialism is back in style, so why not let the graphic design reflect it?
We’ve nationalized the banks and the auto companies, who’s next?
wow, that poster is reminiscent of the russian communist- era propaganda posters
