"This Is Backwards" Posters





I found this series of posters entitled This is Backwards. They are quite interesting. Each poster has a single statement or sentence that spells backwards. After spending a few minutes figuring them out, I notice that they are actually messages commenting on current political and social issues. (The first one, for instance, reads "Most People Spend Ninety Percent of Their Time Indoors".) By making the sentences backwards, the designer tries to draw our attention to the issues that he thought are broken and wrong. At the bottom of each poster, there are suggestions to change and fix the backwards problem above.
我找到了这组名为“这得倒着念”的海报,觉得还挺有意思的。每一张海报都有一句反着写的话。在花了一点时间把它们念顺了之后,我发现每一句话都是有关当今的社会和政治的话题。(例如第一句就该念成“大部分人有90%的时间呆在室内”)设计师希望用把句子反写的方法来引起我们对这些他认为是错误的观点的注意。在每张海报的底部都写着解决以上问题的方法和建议
