Silence = Death
An impressive exhibition at the Museum of Design Atlanta, Graphic Intervention: 25 Years of International AIDs Posters, traces the history of AIDs-awareness efforts and offers over a hundred examples from around the world. Created by local and governmental organizations in an effort to reach and educate the broadest possible audience, these vivid works demonstrate the art of simplicity. It's endlessly fascinating to see how different cultures approach a subject often considered taboo.
