history repeats itself unknowingly (now w/constructivist awesomness)
i've been researching old soviet and russian graphic design, and i came across this old hungarian match box label, part of a series on work safety. apparently it warns about standing under lifted cargo/freight, etc...


hmmm. they ripped me off- like 50 years ago.

how do I know that you didn't go back in time and do the other one and are now claiming fraud in order to win support for a reprint and the money that comes with it????



IT'S ALL SO CLEAR

You might say that that Russian constructivist artist saw the future...

those guys were so awesome, we have so much to learn today about their layouts and raw, basic bold stuff.

nice. always loved old propaganda(ish) stuff. things were executed much more simply and effectively then.

So this wasn't originally influenced by that style? I'm surprised!

The best compliments I ever received here (that haven't been deleted):

-from the master:

I think there will be a few different subs in the top 20 once all the loves threadless have finsihed scoring. Travis has to be up there somewhere, his last few subs have lifted the bar on here--------

-from the co-owner:

-from a blogger:

I don't know if anyone else who's been hanging around threadless for far too long (like myself) gets really excited when under-printed designers put out a sure thing - but I know I do. I feel the same way about this as when I first saw "No Peeking" by Jublin. That "THIS is a print and it couldn't happen to a better person."
Enjoy your...uh...12 pack of Red Bull.
