'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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkposter-duna) -- 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) with the bright [bold words](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy) "Wish Want Need Do Die."
