This article engages the reader through a picture of a flag that was created and displayed infront for everyone to see. The flag reads ” A MAN WAS LYNCHED BY A POLICE YESTERDAY”. It was designed for everyone to catch a reaction and get informed of what happened to Alton Sterling. The designer did this through the use of typography, this showed emphasis by using only text and it being all uppercase. As you read you become more informed of what the situation was and how many people began to design all kinds of art. The purpose being was to get their message across of their thoughts about what happened to Sterling.
Posters were created and design all through typography. As stated ” The work of Mr. Smith and other artists seems to come from a place of empathy, and wanting to evoke it in others.” Everyone was creating all these forms of art just so they can be informed and hopefully influenced by it. I think this was a smart way to get the job done. Especially through the use of only typography was one of the best ideas to do, it emphases on the big picture.
