Eh, looks like nine or ten. The Haitian Poster Project has been going on now since January. But two designers from Pentagram, arguably the world’s most hallowed design studio, just submitted their posters. The seismographic one is quite good. Well, actually they both are, graphically, cool. But, the covered bodies execution, by Harry Pearce, is a bit too macabre for my tastes. Yes, it was a monumentally shocking tragedy. But this exploitation of death for design makes me feel queasy. What do you think? I’m just an ad hack. Anyway, they’re, as of this morning, 306 posters for sale at the site, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. |Images: Creative Review|

So now that the fascist FDA will have final word on cigarette marketing as the president gave the agency unprecedented power to regulate tobacco, “multi-disciplinary design firm” Pentagram offered some rebranding advice. Although the mock Marlboro designs were created with the intent of turning the “whole cigarette pack into a three dimensional warning label,” the tarot cardish motif is way edgier than what’s currently out there and could make smoking look cooler than ever.
