I pilfered this rather eye-catching poster from an old-ladies shop in an Il Corte Inglais in Valencia this year, with the aid of my miniature girlfriend. It had caught my eye a few days previous when me and my mate Si Sherlock were wandering. My girlfriend and I executed the steal in a Bond-esque fashion, hiding behind clothes rails with lookouts etc. It was a two-man job. More Ace Ventura than James Bond though actually. It was risk because Spanish police love a good beating, but it was worth the gamble. My girlfriend's GCSE Spanish informs me that 'rebajas' means sale/reduction.
The simplicity and cheapness of this A2 poster is what primarily drew me to it. The vibrant primary colours and chunky type work great together and whoever made it deserves a pat on the back because obviously, being just a sale sign in an old-biddies 'fashion' shop, it's going to have been cheaply designed and produced. Generally I'm not a fan of minimalism, but for this I can make an exception. It just looks cool. And I can't wait to frame it and find a bit of wall space to stick it on.
A good bit of type.
