LA vs WAR (You must see this show)




First and foremost I want to say that this event was a great inspiration in Political graphics. Because it focuses on the current situation in regards to Iraq, inflation in Oil, major corporations who are making money off the war, etc... I strongly recommend everyone to go see the event before its too late. (April 10-13)

Here is a link

I like this piece because it shows several of the smaller and larger corporate logos transformed as what they are truly suppose to be seen. Texaco is Terror, Snapel is Shrapnel, American Airline is Anti-American, etc... Its an excellent example of political graphics integrated to some of America's corporate logos.


This other poster is a great example of how the Media uses propaganda to convince people of what is politically correct and what is politically wrong. Just like during the years of Adolf Hitler. when the Nazis used propaganda to persuade the public. Soon creating the Axis powers and than World War 2.

crap I wish I had read your blog earlier that looks like a really good show. I am totally interested in that kind of work and just got a really cool book called "Graphic Agitation 2" that has a lot of posters dealing with war, politics, the environment etc.
