At the website above there is a video on the philosophy of one poster and political designer. He talks of how important it is to him to use his designs to convey a message to the world. One particular image jumped out me above all the others. There was a poster that said "celebrating Columbus" The poster had a picture of an Indian individual. The artist drew in a sewed up mouth, and hollowed out the eyes and nose of the Indian. The designer was pointing out that because of Columbus "discovering" America, it actually lead to the slaughter and relocation of the Indians, even when this was their home first. Other controversial images are used by James Victore to urge people to participate in their government, use condoms, and display the truth of racism still existing in the United States today. He brilliantly captures your eye and delivers a punch to your stomach with his in your face attitude through his art.
