Weekly News Poster

description

For the Graphic Design course at WdKA I was asked to do a poster response to a news item in a certain week. The aim was to do a poster within a quick turnaround deadline. 

I chose to respond to the news coverage about the 2010 Nobel Peace prize being given to Chinese dissident Liu XiaoBo. The poster shows the prize as a metaphor for foreign pressure for political reform, critiquing and questioning the amount of power it actually has in bringing change when facing the Chinese government (depicted as Chairman Mao ZeDong).
