Back in the day when television signals were overtaken by static, we’d immediately run to play with the rabbit ears. Cable addressed that problem for the most part. Digital radio tuners helped us tune in to the true radio signal. USA Today showed how newspapers can accent information and Apple made us realize the important role design plays in user experience (before the iPod, portable music players just played music).
I talked to a shop owner who had this poster hanging in their front window. We talked about the design of the poster with its distracting moire patterns and agreed the graphics took away from the text, the most important part of the poster — to get out and vote.
It’s interesting to note that the poster (backlit as it is) is much easier to read in this photograph than in real life.
