Declarative Statement Posters

'Wish Want Need Do Die' by Eric Gorvin Gives Orders

'Wish Want Need Do Die' by Eric Gorvin is saying what needs to be heard in an original way. The outspoken designer printed the poster onto newspaper -- mostly pages that featured some sort of image to make his statement more powerful -- and tossed the folded papers onto a subway car.

My favorite image is of the half-naked model posing for Calvin Klein with the bright bold words "Wish Want Need Do Die."
