Description
The Bush administration uses all the hallmarks of terrorist regimes: Lies and deception, limiting rights and freedoms of the people, and an inability to admit when things are fucked up and need to be fixed.Meanwhile they use terrorist organizations and third world countries to take the public eye off of what's really going on. The reality is that Bush is erroding our freedoms daily and tells the citizens lies that are much more disturbing than merely covering up a sex scandal. We almost impeached Clinton for a blowjob, but Bush can lie and cause hundreds of deaths and everyone is blind.
The upcoming election has more at stake than most. If you don't get your voice heard, then you will be saying it is okay to allow the government to take away your right to do so.

this world is only a bad place to live in because people don't stand up for themselves and let others walk all over them...

i really believe this aye.. the americans using the scare tactic. it ties in to what ive been studying recently.. we started doin it in english, but jst briefly and i found it v interesting so ive since done my own study and delved deeper into the issues... we started by looking out at how the media controls us, and how they decide public opinion. how they infulence us to think certain ways.. ive done a deviation on it. but then ive sort of branched off that into reading about the scare tactic, and how they are using the media, leaning on them to portray the feeling of danger to the americans, so they feel they need to be protected by bush. its crazy...

Completely ignoring the hilarity of the political views expressed herein, I'd like to point out that "scared of terror" makes absolutely no sense.
terror by definition is something everyone is wary of, yet it is terrorism that the US is fighting against, and terrorism that many bush-haters see as happening within America.
aethestically, however, i love this.

Then what, pray-tell, is the "War on Terror" the press keeps talking about?
Terror can also be used to describe the effect and or acts perormed by a group of terrorists. A terrorist instigates terror. He does so by committing acts of terrorism.
According to the Patriot Act, anyone who commits any crime is a terrorist. So be careful ... Bush may declare war on you.

the 'war on terror' is gramtically erroneous, as my recent forum thread points out, and as english grammar dictates.
a number of tv news stations have, in the past few weeks, begun calling is the 'war on terrorism' as they've realized the illogic of 'war on terror'. additionally, it is falsely called 'war on terror' because it has a slight natural ring and flow to it, even if it is incorrect. the media just picked it up because it was convienient.
a war on terror attacks the result of the source, which is terrorism. thus it is again obvious that it should indeed be a 'war on terrorism'. we aren't fighting a war against a lurking emotion, but against tangible terrorists.
A crime, regardless of what is it, strikes terror in others, so a criminal is also inherently a terrorist, though not in the strictest sense. The US government declared war on crime since its inception; stop trying to be smart.

The Patriot Act also gives the government the right to execute all terrorists. Therefore: If any person who commits a crime is a terrorist (and there is no level of crime defined here ... you can be speeding and it still applies), then any person who commits a crime can be executed. For any reason.
The war on terrorism IS a war on a "lurking emotion". Terrorists are not a visibly obvious central government ... they are groups of people who can be anywhere at any time. Terrorism's goal is to cause terror by being anonymous and omniscient. They can't be satisfied, and they can't be destroyed.
I really could care less about arguing semantics, politics, or anything else with you. The only reason I even responded to your original comment was because you were incredibly rude and insulting. I'm a friggin english major so I definately do not have to discuss grammar with you. The design behind the artwork in question was to be an advertisement that encites emotion and action. I chose the wording that I thought would be most appropriate. I don't have to explain this to you because it is my artwork.
Even in prose and poetry you can take artistic liscense with grammar. Go correct your classics for grammar ... or read some Emily Dickenson, or Robert Frost. You'll find that true written art uses grammar as a guideline and then breaks it when needed for effect.
Art is expression and can be delivered however the artist wishes.
If you're goal here is to make other people look stupid then you should probably go find another community. Constructive comments are more than welcome ... ill thought out, insulting ones are trash and should be treated as such.
I should not have even begun this discussion with you because I really do know better than to expect anything better to come out of someone who would respond in such a way to begin with.
Good day.

I've spoken with plenty of English majors who haven't a clue about the rules of english, just as liquisoft has encountered graduates from design school who don't know elemetary rules.
If you think that I'm trying to make you look stupid, think again. My comments were not "ill thought out", though you may have found them insulting. Yet I found your dissemination of inaccurate information equally insulting.
Still, however big of a jackass you think I am, no hard feelings.

ok initially i came over to thank you for switching my subs from one account to another then i saw this and had to comment.
I lived in the US for 4 years. Prior to that I lived in Asia for 10 years. Prior to that I lived in United Arab Emirates for 7 years. I now live in Europe. I've never lived anywhere where I've been eligible to vote because of moving so much. I'm Dutch by nationality but having never lived there I don't get to vote. I really think that people who aren't able to vote appreciate it much more than those who have taken the priviledge for granted. In a way I can respect someone's decision not to vote if they really strongly believe the voting system is corrupt etc. However, the apathy is something I can't accept. The attitude of "My vote can't possibly make a difference" seems so misplaced considering the political climate of your country with impending elections. Now is the PERFECT time to choose your side of the fence and vote. I mean really, it can't hurt right? lol you get a #2 pencil, fill in the form and bam......then people can go back to watching MTV or whatever
On the other hand the election of Bush to office really made a lot of people very wary of voting. I mean suddenly Florida had all these issues with the Ballots and Bush #2 being gov. of the state made it seem all the more suspicious. People must have felt cheated. Money decides. That sounds so simplistic and ridiculous doesn't it? But in some part that's true. A lot of money was spent to insue that George Jr. would become president. Would Gore have been a better president? Perhaps not. But I think he wasn't given a fair shot.
Going onto the near impeachment statement....I had always found it strange that the US would be so quick to jump on Clinton for getting a blow job. He lied to your country. The way I saw it was, he was just a man who was trying to lie to his wife and just had to do it on national TV. I actually liked him more after that. If getting a blow job helped him run the country better then carry on Sir LOL
Onto the design....at first glance i thought the neutral browns and reds wouldn't be impactful enough, however the way the colours are sectioned off with the text makes it very eye catching. I particularly like the usage of that stock image to go with your poster.
A really evocative piece

First: It was no problem, if you need anything else just let me know.
Second: Thank you very much. That is possibly the most thoughtful and productive comment I've ever read (not to mention has ever been posted in reference to something of mine).
This is the first presidential election I've ever been eligable to vote in ... I'm definately going to make sure I get as many people as I can to get out and vote along with me.

If i am going to take the time to view a piece like this, the least i can do is let you know how it impacted me
I don't want to tell people what to do lol but, the US presidential elections don't just affect Americans......with your political/economic weight in the world you impact almost every single other country too. Who becomes your president affects Europeans, Asians, Australians etc....so i think it's imperitive that Americans as a whole start to realise what they do affects others....just a thought, not a criticism.
Thank you for this piece

on the tecnical level: great sense of the composition, i love how you chose the colors and used the fonts!! bravo 
for the message itself: I'm just sorry i could not vote against Bush (i'm not american).
great job

Thanks
There are good things and bad about not being an American ... just like there are about being one. I'm simply amazed at the amount of freedoms we have effectively given up because of fear of terrorism. Bush is a dangerous man who is taking this country in a direction freedom loving people should not want to go.

very hot design-wise. the message, although voting is certainly of utmost importance, is a bit stale. i mean, in my opinion, but you have to understand my friends' friends and how very zealously political they are. if i hear the word "Orwellian" one more time i'm going to explode.

That's strange ... I run into people my age every day that comment on how voting is pointless, etc. I argue with people intensely on this subject, and I believe it is still very relevent when we are still having voter turnout rates steadily falling. This election is crucial and we need as many people to get out and take action as possible. We cannot afford to let Bush take another term in office.

In Europe we don't have the tradition of free speech, so you are rather well off, even with Bush :-D
All government, all power, has the innate tendency to perpetuate itself, to solidify its base and its grasp on its subjects. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance", an overused but surely true saying. I am not afraid that America will end up as a jail. Americans (at least some

The caption "Scared of Terror" is cleverly chosen; The reader has to start thinking. And that's the first, and maybe most important, step for keeping the right to think and speak out
