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.
