election poster board - a wider view
Originally uploaded by nofrills.
Each candidate puts one legal size poster in the box.
A typical poster consists of:
- candidate's name (big font, and it's gothic/sans-serif, though in Japanese typography sans-serif or serif is somewhat different compared with in the west )
- candidate's face (smile, smile and smile)
- slogan(s)
- the name of the political party that the candidate belongs
As I observe, one of the colours that are most frequently used is blue. Something "fresh" and "clearcut" about the colour is particularly liked, I suppose.
Anyway, these posters are boring as hell.
For the cute little creature at the right bottom, I posted an enlarged picture here.
