TFL Ticket Inspectors


Another one of Craig Ward’s fantastic pieces of art is ‘TFL Ticket Inspectors’ poster designed for the London Underground. The design of the poster is quite striking and mysterious in a way. The use of colour really makes the whole design quite cold looking and although seeing the face in the background is not very easy to spot, once the viewer sees this, he or she may agree that it almost feels like the person behind the writing is constantly watching them. Ward’s idea and thought behind this poster is put across simply and it is very straight to the point as it is hard not to understand what the poster is trying to communicate. For most Londoners, this poster may have become something they’re used to seeing everyday, but the emotion and personality of the poster still strikes new comers into London to think about ticket inspections on all London Transport and the risks they put themselves into when not paying for a ticket fare. Which clearly states and shows that the poster is still effective even after 2 or more years of being around in London.
