Revolution Poster Draft

This is a work in progress inspired by recently reading a historical design book covering some controversial, but still important graphic design work.

"Iron Fists: A Design History of Totalitarian Regimes"

https://www.brainpickings.org/2011/06/22/steven-heller-iron-fists/

This book covers propaganda art from regimes on both the left and right side of the political spectrum. Iron Fists delves deep into the psyche of what makes memorable and strong design work, even if it's not design for Good.

Also worth checking out is this old post from ISO50 covering beautiful, albeit shocking propaganda posters from North Korea.
