LIGHT SOURCE « STILL LIFE

As an antidote to negative messaging, Scott Buschkuhl of the New York design studio, Hinterland, created this self-promotional poster. Printed on translucent paper, the Charles Dickens quote on one side is offset by a carefully registered pattern on the reverse.  When held up to light, the pattern shines through, obscuring the negative phrases and preserving just the uplifting ones.
