Political protest signs

Here are some signs I’ve made over the past couple of weeks to take to protests against the Trump regime.

I print them out on letter-size paper and tile them together onto a 14.5″ x 21″ board. I’ve been using Avenir Next Heavy for headlines and Avenir Next Condensed Medium for copyright information and other small type, and a palette of the three primary colors.

Protest sign (vertical): "NO KINGS" in large red capital letters; below that, the John Tenniel black and white pen-and-ink of the White King from "Alice In Wonderland." The White King chess piece, with a frightened expression on its face, is gripped by a hand around it't middle.
