Production
The following information was provided by Clive Russell from This Ain't Rock n Roll. This one of several Extinction Rebellion (XR) posters created for the XR Paint The Streets campaign which began in 2019 driven by the energy of Iggy Fox (RIP).
The wood-cut prints by Miles Glyn and other assets were shared among the poster designers to use if they wished. Each designer was given a base colour to work on to avoid duplication, and the logotype with the group name was fixed in a set position in the bottom centre of the sheet to add visual consistency.
