Poster Design for Peace

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

When Lancaster Coalition for Peace and Justice asked me to design a poster for their M15 event, I was delighted—LCPJ has become a tremendous force for good in Lancaster County, PA.

M15 is the antithetical celebration of the anniversary of the beginning of the War in Iraq, which is commonly regarded as March 15.

Visit Lancaster Voice for more details on the M15 event and peace efforts in general; and see the Iraq Veterans Against the War website to learn more about their plan to end the war.

A Spanish translation of the poster is also available.

First public sighting of the poster: Lancaster Dispensing Company, a nice 18 Ă— 24 in format inkjet.
