This poster designed by Jessalyn Aaland is a crime against typography. The designer chose to use a collage effect by piecing together different pictures from what appears to be the 1950's. To top it all off, the pictures and the text have been placed on a horrendous, yellow background, Worst of all is the arrangement of text! The white text on the yellow background is hardly legible and it is all over the place making it even harder to read. even if the text was black it wouldn't help this design to be any better. There is also text in the triangles at the top of the page bit it looks broken and disconcerting because of all the colors and spaces between the letters. The illustration at the bottom of the page is just to busy and is looks like the people are floating on the bright yellow background. Unfortunately the same designer has created other monstrosities such as this. Perhaps this poster and others like it were the result of client work, and perhaps this is what the client wanted. I don't know what client would want this, but people never cease to amaze me.
