This poster was created by Wood McGrath for The British Council Art, Architecture & Design department's International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year 2007.

Each year the award consists of a unique A1 framed poster, which features the same quote by writer George Bernard Shaw. The award was presented by Thorsten Van Elten during a ceremony held at 100% Design in September, to the winner Sigal Cohen of Venezuela.

"Our interpretation of the quote led us to divide the letter forms in half using a combination of printing, hand cutting and folding in order to reflect the duality of the statement."

I really like the aesthetic quality to this poster, and the use of typeface in particular. The chosen colours work really well together, and all aspects look interesting from every perspective.
