Billboard Jesus


You might have spotted on the BBC website the new christmas poster campaign by the Churches Advertising Network continuing the revolutionary theme from the che guevara poster. There is a Q&A about it here. What do you think? Not your conventional christmas image. I am kinda liking it.

I thought the Che idea was quite clever, subverting every student's second favourite poster (after Marley). This one feels like a further play on the Che idea, so it's kind of one step removed. If it didn't mention the 25th you wouldn't know what it was. Interesting choice of face though - there's a sense of purpose, seriousness - a child on a mission. Quite an intriguing image.

Somehow I like this one more than the che one. The Che poster was great in concept - Jesus as the iconic and subversive revolutionary - but weak in execution. 'Meek, mild - as if' was a bit crummy. This one is less obvious, more intriguing and closer tied to the Christmas story that people know. Subtle is good.
