I was just having a flick through a book called Fingerprint, which is all about 'The art of using handmade elements in graphic design'. I found a poster by Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. who is a letterpress printer, he designed the poster for an exhibition about Rosa Parks. The posters feature quotes and important text from Park's amazing story.
I love them, the words are so powerful but the design helps to amplify them and connect with the viewer. From what I've been reading online about Kennedy, he seems a fascinating man, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of the documentary about him; 'Proceed and be bold', the trailor for which can be found on youtube.
