Power to the Poster

"This project exists to bring people together around a ready supply of well-designed, wild postings that comment on the issues of our time. These 11x17 posters in PDF format are for anyone, anywhere to download, print and post. The hope is that this site gets people talking about where we've been and where we're going in these historic times."

I can appreciate the objective of this campaign, as it is intended to share and begin a discourse among the public. It allows for anyone to contribute, and anyone can print out a poster. I like how the site asks those who print to post these graphics in high traffic areas, much like a guerrilla or street art form of communication. I do believe that we need to have these thoughts posted and awareness brought through the use of public space.

Although, this may not be a direct design towards automatic change, conversation and discourse is the first step to encourage awareness and understanding.
