Megan Matsuoka made this poster as part of a self-imposed challenge called 100 Posters in 100 Days. “To boost my creativity, practice my design skills, and learn to not over think too much - I’ve set myself a goal to create a 100 Posters in 100 Days,” she says. “I have chosen to use inspirational quotes as my content.”
Her only rule was that she had to create each one within an hour.
Shawn Huckins’ newest paintings are entitled the American Revolution Revolution: What Would George Post? Huckins had the bright idea of using 18th century painting and portraiture to make social observations of our newest (and most profound) lexicons of the digital age. No one has ever LOL’d so hard they ended up ROFL at a portrait of George Washington, but Huckins knows how to get it out of us. With his paintings, Huckins seeks to question the advancement of technology, and ask if it has truly helped or hurt our way of communicating.
Using just wood and paint, Oslo, Norway-based artist Ole Martin Lund Bo created this anamorphic piece of art with a thought-provoking message. Called (Deceptive Outward Appearance), this installation seems as if someone just photoshopped those words onto an already existing image. Look at the other pictures (above), however, and you’ll soon realize that the three words have been carefully painting onto the white walls and wood sticks, becoming what seems like random black marks when viewed from different angles.
“Friend, graphic designer and photographer Julian Bialowas just sent word about his latest project which launched yesterday. Of course, you may remember Julian as the one behind those beautiful and uplifting photos that thousands of you shared with your family and friends. He’s back with This is Oregon, an interactive photo project and collaboration with Shwood Eyewear that’s based around the goal of inspiring people to get outdoors and explore the gorgeous state of Oregon.”
If you had the opportunity to say one thing to the next generation of youth, what would you say? The Say Something Poster Project has invited artists to do just that in the form of a poster.
These are the photos that routinely capture major events in the world, bringing them big and bold before our eyes and enlightening us to the triumphs and tragedies of the human saga. Captured by talented photographers around the globe, each unique image speaks to our hearts and motivates us to take a larger view of the world.
The images we have here completely change that, putting a fully irreverent spin on the images by giving them captions sure to amuse and even slightly offend. With their clever crops and colorful typographic captions, they subvert the original meaning of each image, transforming them into something sarcastically cynical… but because we know what these images really are they still retain part of their underlying meaning.
