Another piece of art that i am fond of is Banky's graffiti art that was printed onto the Palestinian side of Israel's security barrier. I like it because it is a light hearted piece of art in a area filled with conflict.

I think that the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster is a good example of a successful promotional poster because it is easily recognisable and has lots of imitations across the internet.
The image is of Barack Obama in a stylized stencil portrait theme featuring the colours blue, red and beige - blue and red being 2 of the colours in the American flag.
The poster is by Shepard Fairley and it spread like wildfire during the 2008 presidential campaign. My main thoughts of this poster is of how effective the text is. There was several versions of the poster which similar words such as 'Change' and 'Progress'
I also think the art style is effective because it is unique for a political poster.

Casino Royale Movie Poster

I am very impressed by this alternative movie poster for James Bond: Casino Royale by Gautam Singh Rawat because it has a minimalist style, whilst still releating to the film. The image reveals much about the film, without all the cluttered text that you see in current movie posters.
I also like how the poster is like a playing card - which relates to the movie title as a playing card is something you would see in a casino.
