Having read up on Polish poster design a lot of the past couple of week, I feel that the aspects which are most intrinsic to this movement's attitude to creative output which, in turn, effects its aesthetic, is experimentation and creative freedom.
Although these characteristics can be found in other design, social, and cultural movements and phenomena, I want to continue to discover these and look more into how this lack of creative limitation and inhibition results in work that is often more authentic, and often can deliver a message more effectively.

Imperfection and experiments with a Xerox machine by Zach Hobbs
'[his] posters fizz with energy, embodying a spirit of independence and experimentation'
'Zach has an approach to design that lives in an age of "pre-internet weirdness". Drawing inspiration from "punk rock, UFOs, weird southern people, and the year 1987" '
'Many of Zach's works that combine typography and abstract character design are produced using a Xerox machine to create collages with a conscious imprecision and rich halftone patterns.'
'Zach's posters and illustrations have a DIY attitude that recall the work of artist Winston Smith's work for the Alternative Tentacles record label and combine a wicked sense of humour with a strong politic.'
