"Revolution! go change your world!!"
"my skratchpad" ^

This poster design inspires you to learn about design history. There are a lot of interesting artists and art movements. The past is a rich design resource that can have a positive influence on your designs.

It is a poster design inspired by an art movement called Russian Constructivism. I cut up some images and paste them together to create a stylized revolutionary design and then tied it all together by overlaying some texture to give it a vintage feel.



TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Government
KEYWORDS: barackobama; doomed; kgb; obama; propaganda; putin; russia; sovietunion
Not trying to single out this poor soul specifically, but tonight I ran across her blog entry. She took her inspiration for her 'Russian Constructivism' project from this original Lenin propaganda poster.

Kids think it's cool. This is why we are where we are.

Actually, I don’t know if this is a girl or a guy. I self-edit my “her” to a “they.”

I couldn’t tell ya. I wish I’d studied Russian in high school back in the 80’s, instead of French.

The Obama adoration is getting totally out of hand.

Miss you on Sunday nights!

I took a couple years of German in high school.

I've forgotten most of it though.

It's browser dependent, but you can usually go to a Cyrillic website and cut and paste, or just insert the html code for a Unicode character directly. Here's a good reference.

Blame St. Cyril. My personal suspicion is that the guy was dyslexic.

I wonder if our artiste has considered the irony of B-17's in a Russian revolutionary poster...

I wouldn’t care if the Russian airships come in, because I’ll probably be dead by that time.

BTW, I saw a guy (older, no punk) wearing a CCCP shirt at Home Depot today. I was "this close" to confronting the guy...but I'd be in jail now. My wife thanked me for a cooler head.

Not sure. It may be a still from “Triumph of the Will” that classic lefty propaganda film. I’m sure Goebbels would approve of “Yes! We Can”. Ja! Können Wir!

I'm reminded of the scene in Taxi Driver where Albert Brooks, a campaign worker, is complaining because the print shop fouled up the slogan.

"This says WE the people. It's supposed to say We the PEOPLE."

"Chatting with the reporters in the cool of the garden"

Ahhh Yesss , Just like G_D chatting with Adam &Eve in the garden of Eden.

(Genesis3,8)

"and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day"

Don't these clowns just make your blood boil?
