Abstract
This poster is inspired by a quote attributed to George Orwell which reads “All art is propaganda; on the other hand, not all propaganda is art.”. The art style of this piece is inspired by posters from the Bolshevik, and ‘The New Economic Party’ periods of Russian history, aping the distinctive style of stark outlines and limited use of colour for highlights and legends.
The poster's legend text and the slogans for the crowd's banner and sandwich board have been rendered in a stencil style font called 'Stop', and heavily altered using Illustrator's extensive text manipulation tools.
