Cardon Copy
November 30th, 2009
This is a great project by Cardon Webb (Cardon Copy) in New York. He finds cluttered, misguided, and often funny posters around the city, re-designs them to look better, which results in an overall more effective poster!
More on his site here. There are lots of examples for which he shows the design he created as well as the original poster.

I saw this a while back and I was really enamored with the idea, but the way he chooses to execute it puts me off a little bit.
Sometimes they are just brilliant, and sometimes he takes a perfectly functional (albeit ugly) poster and turns it into something visually stunning and completely illegible.
They usually look great, but these kinds of posters are primarily about content. That’s why they look so bad to begin with. So it bothers me that even when I am looking at them side-by-side I still find them difficult to decipher.
Maybe he doesn’t mean to communicate with them… maybe he leaves the originals up so people can read them or uses only things he knows have expired… if this is the case then these are just beautiful works of art and I have nothing against them.
