Bloody Meat by Mathieu Frossard

Visual artist Mathieu Frossard has treated us to a stomach-turning poster to tie in with the UK's National Vegetarian Week.

“In every creative production, the visual aspect remains one of the key elements as it helps catch the attention of the viewer and thus communicate a message in a more efficient way. The image is intended to be a disgusting yet fascinating representation of flesh. Like an attractive revulsion, I hope it can capture a viewer’s attention to deliver the message: slow down on the meat and go for more vegetables.”

Don't Don't by Emily Oberman

New York Pentagram partner Emily Oberman tweaks the iconic ‘Walk Don’t Walk’ street sign so it beams a message that we believe in.

“I was sitting with my team and we were tossing around something like “Don’t Not Walk” as kind of a variation on “Just Do It” and someone said what about “Don’t Don’t Walk”, and it was a little silly and also perfect. Those words, plus the little word ‘Walk’ at the bottom of the poster, feel so powerful - two statements made from four words that are actually only two words say it all.”

Don’t Bottle It by Stuart Watson

Venturethree’s Stuart Watson used his poster to argue his case against splashing out on bottled mineral water.

“Being born in Bolton in the north west of England, my character is a perfect blend of manliness and stinginess. My inability to understand why my southern counterparts pay for water is part-financial and part-environmental. 27m tonnes of plastic is used to bottle water worldwide each year all because one in five people are ‘slightly nervous’ or ‘too scared’ to ask for tap water. I say, man up and ask for tap.”

Design company Hudson-Powell have created this rather endearing poster, encouraging us to show light bulbs a bit of compassion. 

“In the Shinto religion inanimate objects are often given a persona or spirit to help people relate to them in a more humanistic way and to create a dialog with the object. Taking this idea and applying it to light bulbs, making them delicate living things that need rest and can dream seemed like a playful way of getting people to remember to turn them off.”

Our first weekly poster is by Liverpool Lad, who gives a word of warning to Liverpool FC footballer and creator of controversy Luis Suarez after he sunk his jaws into a Chelsea defender in Sunday’s match.

“Luis Suárez’s bite was an iconic carnivorous moment. When I saw it, I felt the need to make a statement to Luis, Liverpool fans and the world that excessive meat eating is bad for the world. Next time Luis is hungry, he should take a bite out of a falafel rather than flesh and set a good sustainable example.”
