In the weeks before polling day of the last general election, the Conservative Party ran a load of posters on phone boxes to promote their concept of ‘the big society’.
David Cameron’s Conservative Party Conference speech spurred a friend on the inside to send on the other executions in the series which never ran (I notice that the crass ‘Vote Conservative’ logo that ran in the original burst – which I criticised at the time – has been replaced with the Tory tree…).
Interesting find, so which company did they use to produce these posters? I’m a visual cultures student and interested in discussing these posters in my thesis, any more info you have would be very helpful! Love the blog.
Hi Rachel, sorry for delay in getting back to you, I’m not sure who illustrated them but I believe an advertising agency called Euro RSCG were behind the concepts.
