attac, attac

i came across this interesting set of posters and pamphlets for a political organisation in belgium called ‘attac’

the whole series seems to have been made by a designer called ‘titom’ more of his posters plus preliminary sketch work can be seen here (french only)

i find it quite interesting to see a modern variation of old style political and ideological posters of a type that hardly exsist these days, the illustration style however is sometimes perhaps a bit sweet or too decorative to give the messages being conveyed the proper sense of urgency or weight
