Has a striking pathos to it. Nonetheless, panders to some obsolete sentiments. America's military actions abroad certainly increase the likelihood of America becoming a target, but this paints soldiers as the target... which they actually are... which is a tad whack presuming the designer of this piece is in American civilian. Adbusters kitsch circa 2004. Neat design, nuanced presentation, but definitely neither artistic nor original [in b4 "make something better", "art is relative", etc.]. Certainly won't effect the war itself or people's opinions of it hitherto, hence not a very effective design -- unless of course the 'effect' is some contrived bull such as 'raising awareness.' Obama is president, we've got plenty of bright folks in this country and on this planet to counteract the morons -- lets empower them in our subways rather than witty, restless, activipsters. Overall: interesting, but way too late. Immanently cool. Has a striking pathos to it. Nonetheless, panders to some obsolete sentiments.

The application is brilliant. I don't know how I feel about the message. But this isn't a political blog... so I'll keep it to myself. :) Wow. Very powerful piece of design.

Dan- no need to take it there, if you have a point you think is worth considering, try to make it in a more intelligent manner. I deleted “dan’s” comment.

Do you know whats also "clever" and "provoking"? The documentary "Brothers at War". However, I do not think it falls under the "Liberal" arts category. www.brothersatwarmovie.com/ It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us Freedom of the Press. It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us Freedom of Speech. It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate. It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Fair Trial. It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who gives the protestor the right to burn the flag. ~Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC Hilarious dan!

Work is genius and I'm fully on bored. We the people need to take back America and not let our g.o.v be g.o.d over our beliefs of what is right and wrong. Advertising is an effective way to speak FOR the people not just sell to the people. Great example of how less is so much more. Work is genius and I’m fully on bored.

It would be interesting to see it from all angles and not just the barrel of the gun/tank to the back of the head/tank. Does anybody know if it creates a sense of direction to make you want to look around the whole design? Im curious to see if it attracts the viewer enough to look at the whole composition. Overall its a very bare-bones design with a massive impact. Awesome! Very attractive design.
