- Description
- This is a poster designed by Gail Anderson with a white background and black text and graphics. The poster is an almost square white space with the word “THINK” in extremely large block letters that fills the page. There is a thick black border that runs around the margin of the page. The letters of “Think” touch the margin either at the top, bottom, or side of each letter. At the top left corner in the white space between the top of the ‘T’ and the border is small black text that reads “I don’t even.” In the bottom right corner of the poster in the white space under the letter ‘N’ is small black text that reads “of you as black.” The back of the poster is blank.
