Paula Scher designed this spare poster in the style of a contemporary cigarette advertisement, with the required health warning in the box now a tongue-in-cheek warning about Scher’s upcoming talk at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, presented by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). It is a subtle, edgy composition that subverts what passes for cleverness in mainstream advertising to promote the work of a truly innovative designer.
