Baseline, issue 56






Experiments in writing messages against conventional typographic wisdom. The thought is that by forcing the viewer to decipher the message, it will have more impact and be more likely remembered. An interesting concept.

A few designs from an article on wartime propaganda posters. I love the design style—how it stays simple but still manages to draw out strong emotion.
