Party Hard
A screen print I produced that questions the morality of the celebrations held when Osama Bin Laden was pronounced dead. There were scenes of mass celebration seen Worldwide, but most notably across the United States of America, where hundreds of street parties were held. But is this okay?
It is a morally grey area, because of the tragic terrorist attacks Bin Laden was responsible for across the Globe - but does that make it okay to celebrate a mans death as much as it is to celebrate the death of a US soldier after hundreds of innocent people have been killed in the Middle East?
“At any Sunday league football game there are certain phrases you always hear. “Let’s get at it lads!” “Offside?! Lino! Lino!” and perhaps more surprisingly “Has anyone got any tape?” Tape plays a pivotal role in amateur footy, from securing the nets to holding shin pads in place, so it seems appropriate that London design studio GBH has created PUMA’s new typeface out of gaffer tape.” Rob Alderson - It’s Nice That
A few pictures of my final ISTD hand-in, yesterday. The brief: It Happened on this Day, required me to produce a piece of typographic based design, influenced by a major event in history. My book Little Boy is on the events of August 6 1945, the bombing of Hiroshima.
