Posters

Promoting social issues is at the core of what we do. Whether your posters are for a union campaign or a fundraising event, we develop and deliver concepts that get attention.

For this International Women’s Day poster we used art by Favianna Rodriguez, a printmaker and digital artist based in Oakland, California, whose work is inspired and informed by the stylistic and radical impact of Chicano painters and printmakers.

Using high-contrast colors and vivid figures, her composites reflect literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence. Whether her subjects are immigrant day laborers in the U.S., mothers of disappeared women in Juárez, Mexico, or her own abstract self portraits, Rodriguez brings new audiences into the art world by refocusing the cultural lens. Through her work we witness the changing U.S. metropolis and a new diaspora in the arts. Check out her work.
