I meant to put this image up a while ago, its taken from the front cover of The Economist's August 2010 issue. It shows David Cameron sporting a Union Jack coloured Mohawk to symbolise his 'radical' start as PM.
The Economist is a very influential global magazine and they have gone for a very strong image which portrays a clear message.
This week we are supposed to be thinking about a specialism and an area we would want to work in, in the future. Since the case study on Peter Saville, I've wanted to use graphic design to 'communicate a message' to an audience. He said how fashion tells us what to wear, graphic design tells us what to buy and art tells us how to think and feel.
But I think the line between art and design is very thin. Who says an advert can't be a piece of art?
