Propaganda style poster tutorial

Design Cuts' current bundle includes some super cool elements, notably patterns.

These patterns got me thinking about OBEY-style pieces, and before I knew it, I started designing an OBEY like poster.

All of the piece is made in Illustrator, including the texture effects. One of the strongest piece of inspiration was this old ConEd booklet about atomic energy.

I wrote a pretty detailed process post/tutorial about it, and you should go read it.
