Align yourself with the world

After an afternoon aligning too much stuff in Flash I had this idea. I like this concept of aligning with the world. It has lots of meanings that you can take from it, from saving our world to help your fellow man. Please let me know your readings of this poster on the comments. Poster: [...]

I’ve just read this amazing article by Mark Lynas on the Guardian website about the Copenhagen Summit. I did this poster about it. It just makes me very angry that politics is placed before our rights as humans and the survival of the Earth as we know it. By Pedro Monteiro

North and South Korea

This was a small work that I’ve made for Visão, Portugal best selling newsmagazine. The idea was to compare North and South Korea on a number of things.
