You mean like people who pretend that Sheperd Fairey and/ or his supporters have any legitimate claim to call what he does "his" ?
And no, it's not just his Obama poster that got him sued and eventually charged for destroying evidence in that case, he's always been an unoriginal thief-
(article published pre- Obama poster and lawsuit)

thats a great and informative webpage, but unlike that IG collage artist dude, i dont mind this Shepard stuff - hes not pretending anything, like he invented the things, hes clearly borrowing, recontextualizing, a form of provocative detournement. and hes been doing it for what 3 or 4 decades? good on him.

LOFL, literally the best you've got is to seek validation from other retards whose sense of personal value and superiority is based on what social media site you post on.

> most popular
This isn't a GD thing, 'popular' either means what the radio wants you to hear or what the unwashed masses gravitate to, both of which are going to be crap and neither will be much different from the other.
If you go into music or writing you'll find the same concept. You can please the producer, or you can please the millions of idiots, or you can please neither and embrace career failure.

The Obama one looked so much better, I mean, there's a reason it's still well known and parodied today, almost 20 years later. Her eyes look weird, did he use AI? This looks amateur

The obama one was a basic bitch illustrator photo trace. He probably wanted to avoid being sued this time.

Part of it is that these posters are directly emulating old communist propaganda posters even down to the "Forward" caption...and those kinds of propaganda efforts rely on an illusion of being a grass roots "of the people" effort motivated by altruism.
Whether or not a pro designs them (or gets paid) they can't look too slick or truly professional; attacking any merit based judgments about the poor quality of the work or artists motivation for doing them is a feature, not a bug.
In that sense it's a lot like using children's artwork, singing, etc. in advertising- people who are mindless child worshiping drones will respond as instructed, and anyone who judges the quality can be attacked as "haters".
If quality imagery was the goal, there's far better ways to achieve it than by using ancient low cost posterization techniques, but that isn't the goal at all...its all about triggering people into feeling like they are revolutionary underdogs who don't need or care about anything else because that makes them virtuous.

It's hilarious that the people who eat this stuff up call their opposition a "cult" when this exact "strong" pose/perspective (where the viewer is literally beneath them) is a hallmark of personality cult hero worship imagery.
Also important to realize that posters like picrel were either done by rabid partisans who felt blessed by the opportunity, or were created under duress by artists forced to do them or else.
