Sayings – Funny Posters In Brighton And Hove During Lockdown.
ABOUT THE VIRAL POSTERS BY DESIGN STUDIO FILTHY
Called Viral Posters, they’re part of a project by Brighton design studio Filthy which began as an “an antidote to the grave language” of Government warnings and “anxiety-inducing” media reporting. From afar, you’d think they were official city council notices, but up close you read amusing messages like, ‘At least Liverpool won’t win the league’ and ‘At least you haven’t thought about Brexit’.
Filthy’s Founder and Creative Director Joe Pilbeam said: “While recognising the seriousness and importance of the lockdown, we wanted to post some hopeful humour back on our local streets. Mixing the stoic British attitude of looking on the bright side, with some hard sarcasm and a hint of satire, the series covers topics ranging from politics and climate change to home-working and living in Worthing.”
