I am really interested in punk graphics from mainly the 70's. Mainly because of my music taste, but I also like how simple a poster can be. It was very common for punks to use the 'cut out' method to create their work rather than using detailed illustrations. Photography was still used but what I really like is how they cared very little about how rough or torn the image looked. As seen in the Anarchy in the UK poster below. Another reason I like these sort of images and designs is the little/lack of colour used. To emphasise a certain aspect of the poster a bright colour would be used to highlight it. Or in some other posters the colour was used as the main background of the image with harsh black text on top.
