Poster 2 of 3 for a series created to explore typography. The tag-line "DEMAND PEACE" is appropriate for this country because the communist propaganda was extensively based on the Marxism-Leninism ideology of pervasive censorship. It repressed truths and spread falsehoods throughout the country. The idea of a Soviet Poster demanding peace suggest that the communists were not the ones at fault for the war, rather, they were the ones demanding that it end. The imagery of the fists was widely used in many posters as well because it further emphasized the call to action. The colors were chosen because red and yellow were the primary colors that represented the Soviet Union, as well as the communist party.
Graphic design and typography for a home-published book on the history of my family. Set in Arno Pro. 2010.
For photography we had to focus on type. Here I was trying to use the shape of the building to show typography but in a subtle way.
This is a "map" I made several years ago inspired by the famous Alfred Korzybski quote, "The Map is not the Territory". The scale of the map is 1 foot = 1 foot
I recently came across this very related quote from Jean Baudrillard referencing a story by Jorge Luis Borges by way of Kevin Kelly's book, "Out of Control, The New Biology of Machines".
"French pop-philosopher Jean Baudrillard opens his small book, Simulations (1983), with these two tightly wound paragraphs:
If we were able to take as the finest allegory of simulation the Borges tale where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory (but where the decline of the Empire sees this map become frayed and finally ruined, a few threads still discernible in the deserts...) then this fable has come full circle for us...
Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, or a substance. It is the generation of models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory -- PRECESSION OF SIMULACRA -- it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer of the Empire, but our own. The desert of the real itself."
The inscription on this UK 50p piece from 2005 includes the etymology the word "pence" from the Saxon, beautifully treated by the Mint.
Great typography on these vintage screw boxes. Most are from late 1940's and early 1950's.
