the helmet and octopus limbs...
they represent the former threat of world war II don't they?
im not sure if that's the message, that's how i see it.
love the simple sporadic design and splotch of yellow in between.
Amnesty International is turing 50 this year, and in Denmark they have chosen (among other things) to celebrate this with a poster competition. I thought I would give it a go or though I don't expect to win at all. Amnesty have received more than 400 posters so competition must be hard. But I do hope to make into the final exhibition.
I made this picture by painting all the different elements separately (with ecoline color) and then piecing them together in photoshop like a collage. Took me awhile because I am not very experienced with that particular medium, but I am very happy with the outcome.
Let me know what you think.

You are of course welcome to read that into it, but I imagined it as being an abstract sorta embodiment of the kind of injustice than Amnesty is battleing against.
Thanks for the review :)
