To keep in the spirit of 4-color silkscreen posters this week, here is a slightly anomalous entry for FPO: a poster with no typography on it. Sorry! Nonetheless we were pretty much sold on including it solely by theme, Day of the Dead, the Mexican ritual of celebrating those that have passed away. It happens to be a few days after Halloween so the skullish imagery feels right at home. And illustrator Shaw Nielsen has done a great job in capturing the colors and texture of this festive day.
Aside from that, I was also very happy to see the detailed labels for shipping and the stickers for the paper that wraps around the poster. These could have been throwaway pieces but instead they were extensions of the theme, cheaply done at the office.
