| A cleaned up version (by Tarek Chemaly) of the posters on Beiruti walls |
Yes, we all heard about the posters being plastered in Beirut, yes, apparently they may or may not be related to the Hizb, yes, it seems that their design might or might not stem from the Hizb flag, yes, the saying on the said posters (between you and us, days and nights and the battlefield) might or might not be related to the said Hizb again. This being said, what an impeccable design. The poster is signed "Lebanese Leftists" whomever those may be, but the throwback to the early designs of political posters (I invite you to see Zeina Maasri's site Signs of Conflict - here - which agglomerates posters dating back to the Lebanese war from many political parties and organizations) is simply beautiful. Clear signals, minimal elements, striking colors, and single-minded messaging, along with some very respectable typography. Seriously, that is one masterful exercise of graphic design.
