VIDEO! -GVD for president! postercampaign - update, by GVD on Nov 21, 2008 21:51:27 GMT 1, Hey Guys!

In Holland there is this election going on where we choose the people that will be handling all the water involved stuff.

Cause almost 50 percent of holland is below sealevel this is a pretty important job, however almost noone has a clue what to vote and what the standpoints are of all parties involved.

So when i saw all the billboards being set up i saw a big opportunity, but for what. I had no idea what kind of elections are coming up, even though in pretty informed when it comes to politics and am allowed to vote since a couple of months

So when i found it it were the "waterschaps verkiezingen" or "waterworks elections" i decided i was going to do a bit campaigning !

Most people in the Netherlands don't give a f**k about this election or really dont know what its about, so i decided to use that as the theme of my campaign posters. I had to be quick cause i found out about the election when it already started soo i made these posters in 2 weeks:


The whole bunch, i made 6 different posters and printed them halftone with the copymachine of a local elementary school haha


Our prime minister with a life jacket photoshopped in A3 size,
the text reads: Do you already have a life jacket?
List GVD: "Because we dont know what this election is about either"


The euromast, a famous tower in Rotterdam, shopped in a picture of the dutch water-disaster in 1950, a big part of Holland flooded back then. This one is A2 (2 a3 posters). The text is the campaign slogan.


An aerial view of what the Netherlands would look like when the dikes would break. 2012 is a reference to all the people that think that the world is going to end in 2012 and i just needed a random date in the future lol


A big bridge ('de calandbrug') near my town flooded, it was really hard getting the perspective right, but quite satisfying flooding that damn bridge cause I've been late for school countless because of it hahaa. A2 sized.



And finally a pile of posters (i have about 60 printed in total i think) and a A4 and A3 poster with the campaign slogan

The slogans and font could have been better, but I'm happy with it, had so little time to finish them hahaa.

Hope you guys like em! I'm gonna paste them around my town and the neighbouring towns this weekend and i will take some cool pictures for you guys!

So Watch this space !

ps if you want me to post the original shoops just ask oh and dont forget to vote on my shirt (check my signature)
