In case you were wondering...

I like simple. Here it is.



The name "Built to Spill" is in itself a verbal pun, here the name is played upon in this 2 part poster.


Both the bomb shaped bird cage and the dove are allegories, meaning they represent larger ideas or principles.


The Tod Lippy poster is in some ways a synecdoche in that the title page is a representation of the idea of publication (in this case Lippy's art based magazine). One page represents the larger book.


The scale of the eye (or the boat I guess) is exaggerated to convey the idea of a sea of tears.


And this one's just nice. Enjoy.

Oh, all posters are by The Small Stakes except for the Tod Lippy lecture which was designed by Amanda Spielman at SVA
