Clear, Readable, Approachable, On Trend, Revolutionary? Obey T-Shirt Design

Cool use of colour, imagery. Shepard Fairey design, renowned for use of red, white and black. Political connotation, similar to art works of Barbara Kruger. 

The typography is a Sans-serif font and has soft and easily readable typography. The lack of sharp edges to me suggest an almost infantile like bubble writing.

The raised finger and slogan message suggest an inverted and subdued fuck off to mass media and authority. T-shirts like this are popular with want-a-way supposed anti-conformists who become hypocrites by confirming to wear an overpriced fashion brand. That i comment i think makes more sense in my head, than on paper. I am one of these Anti-conforming conformists.
