If You See Something, Do Something

[Alli]

(My apologies to forum administrators and users if this is the wrong area to post the following as it is General Grassroots Visual Material)

Hope this message finds all the Grassroots Revolutionaries in good spirits, we are making an IMPACT!

In addition to some of my other work in the grassroots, my passion and original "career path" involves graphic design. As such, this past Tuesday a design concept popped into my mind to properly mock the DHS "If you see something, say something" campaign.

So I hope you enjoy the attached subway style posters which also seek to communicate some quick facts about the sorry state of affairs we now find ourselves witnessing with ever increasing regularity.

Nice!

Very nice work, powerful pics +Rep

[JK/SEA]

is that bottom pic of the girl getting frisked real?...i've seen that same TSA guy in the same pose, only there is a man getting frisked instead.

i don't like faked pics. Ron Paul stands for truth, not deception.

makes the rest of op presentation questionable...

No, in the spirit of Paul Revere's engraving of the "Boston Massacre" which was purposefully exaggerated, the girl is a stock photos and subsequently PhotoShopped, although the cynic in me says at this rate it may not be an exaggerated representation in perpetuity.

ergo, indefinite detention, assassination, eavesdropping all not apply to Americans even though we were told it was "only going to apply to foreigners" (and thus somehow supposed to make us feel better?????)

So how long before the TSA starts allowing males to "pat-down" girls; not long enough.

[gerryb]

Oh jeez.

No, it's not "real". If you posted the real TSA pictures they would be obscene.

[Alli]

The Police brutality was also PhotoShopped to include the 4th officer getting ready to swing the billy club.

Very soon, there was just a story about how a woman missed her flight and had to drive 350 miles as there was no female TSA agent available to search her.


Your work is very nice - I highly approve! On that last one though people will instantly know it's shopped, that particular agent is a well-known image.

The "this is what a terrorist looks like", I might edit that one. Not that I dont agree with the premise, just trying to consider the audience.

[sailingaway]

this goes in general politics

[unknown]

In the second one, I would also add the NDAA as opposed to focusing just on the Patriot Act.

[kill the banks]

good effort

[Alli]

Does anyone have any suggestions for subjects of additional posters?

Currently designs for ASSASSINATION and NUDITY are percolating in my mind, would love to entertain some other ideas.

ACTA

[Alli]

From my understanding ACTA will not be enforced due to the Polish and the EU holding up final ratification; although have not seen any further updates.

[thoughtomator]

I would not put it past them to enforce a treaty that the other side declined, as it allows them to end-run the House entirely.
