This poster is pretty old news in the design world, but that's how long I've been agonizing over it. I usually like things that are classic, as art with modern everyday elements (cell phones, mentions of the internet) and the like usually end up embarrassing me. The over-use of the word "like" as a placeholder in conversation really grates my nerves, so overall I should probably hate this poster.
There is something about it that just speaks to me, and makes me feel hopeful. I guess that is good enough in itself.

Lovely...
I've been attempting to design posters (with BK to thank for all of the design advice). Call me lame, but I've never actually seen this before and I really dig it.
Anyhow, neato new blog. Hope all's well with ya.
NB
i love that font; it's called Mavis.
here's the foundry that makes the posters.
they also make a tote bag with the design.
from their website:
"[the poster] was designed in 2004 as a part of Tracy's MFA thesis project in the Graphic Design program at Yale University. It is a simple phrase she has always loved, and magnifying it on paper seems to change its meaning from a sometimes throwaway saying to a larger hopeful statement."
