Corruption


My idea is based on the issue political corruption. Political corruption is the use of governmental powers for illegitimate private gain. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribary and extortion. In many cases it helps organized crime such as drug trafficking, money laundering and human trafficking. The burden of corruption always falls on the billion people that lives in extreme poverty. Some of the most corrupt countries in the world is Burma, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq. On my poster I wanted to make almost a symbol of corruption. Where there is two people making a deal "under the table".

Well done Anette

This idea works really well. I instantly got the message of 'under the table' so for me that worked.

It is a strong style that reminds me of the Bauhaus and works by Sutnar, with strong bold colours and the dramatic geometric shapes.

The typeface is ok but I would maybe think about changing the weight so that it becomes a strong statement that you can not miss.

Great idea! Nice contrast! Clear message! I really liked it!

But I had a littlebit problem to see the table. When I first looked at it, I though it was inside an envelope?!?!!
Maybe som adjustments on the weight of the stroke will make the table more clear? Make a contrast on the horisontal and vertical lines?

Anette, I agree with Ingrid.
I found it hard to see the table until I saw it in the comment you made.

But otherwise - love the idea, love the powerful image and statement you've brought across.

Thank you for the comments!

I will try to make the table more clear, and also try with some other typefaces to se how it looks. :D
