Reprieve: Comedy night

Reprieve is a charity that uses the law to enforce the human rights of prisoners, from death row to Guantánamo Bay.

The brief for the poster below was to advertise a night of comedy marking the end of George Bush's presidency: one that's been catastrophic for the world, but great for comedians. The obvious thing to do was to make a joke about George Bush, but that had been done to death. Instead, I thought it would be more interesting and effective to show how comparatively difficult the world of Obama would be for comics.
