Fighting beauty
The silhouette of a sexy, swimsuit-wearing lady and typography in pink seem to clash with a call to action and fighting. That's what I thought and that's how this idea came to life. The lady's pose is a classic old-school model's posture, yet the silhouetted raised fist can be viewed as the symbol of protest and uprising.
The woman inclines on huge, pink letters but they spell "fight" and their grungy texture is far from pristine.
I find this contradiction humorous and interesting -even slightly political. It's the latest addition in my Vectoria work and you may find it in the Fight Lady section of my store.

Olden times
That's it! Simple, stylish and sweet. A medieval design that looks like you tattooed your tee. Straight from the Body English headquarters, along with many fine designs -including some really interesting and eye-catching ones from the French Protests of 1968.
The time was May 1968. French students and workers staged some impressively huge protests against their government and the whole capitalistic viewpoint of the western world. Armed with surrealism, humor and zen-like slogans, they changed the way people express civilian disobey.Their posters and slogans are as relevant today as ever -and maybe more so!
