The Design of Dissent

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Did you catch PBS’s Now last night, and the astonishing images of dissent that have been collected by Bosnian-born Mirko Ilic, one of the leading designers in the world?

DESCRIPTION of IMAGE LEFT: “This parody of an advertising campaign for iPod uses a horrifying image of torture from the military prison in Abu Ghraib to protest the U.S. occupation of Iraq. The designer posted these confrontational posters among the iPod posters resulting in a surprising and powerful effect.
