BUSH



BUSH

Andrew Lewis Design

While each part of this poster is geometrically and typographically simple, the connotative meaning runs much deeper. The red letters, symbolizing blood, and the black symbolizing oil, the poster serves as a commentary stating that the US’ desire for fuel is destroying the country itself. The type is a large, simple, sans serif easily read from a distance. The colours are simple and bold. In no way is this poster supposed to be subtle. Rather, it seems to have arisen out of a rushed frustration due to the current political climate and the designer’s inability to directly affect it.
