The design of dissent...

Taking Mac's advice from the lecture on Tuesday I ordered the book "The design of dissent" by Milton Glaser & Mirko Ilic. The book looks at the area of socially and politically driven graphics, "it thrives on shock, wit and instant recognition." Admittedly when I first opened the book I wasn't too sure but spending the time to look through it there are some really clever campaigns in there, some may push the limits of what may be considered acceptable visually but show how something very simple can make a very interesting, hard hitting campaign.
