In Response To: Millions Dead, Posters Ruined (Jordan117) : : Graphic designer Sean Haas put together a pretty cool analysis of Reach's : enigmatic propaganda posters on his blog Visual Attack Formation back in : February, complete with hi-res vectorized recreations. He got a few things : wrong ("ARI SOL," not "ARISOL"), was stumped by others : (a Purina logo??), but had a lot of interesting insights and drew some : neat connections I'd never thought of while playing the game. : (I don't think it's been posted before -- "haas" doesn't show any : hits on the front page, at least -- but HBO doesn't search links very : well, so... fingers crossed.) Here's what I see when I look at the poster he calls One Man Army. (The one with the red Purina logo.) If you look closer at each row of figures, you can clearly see man/woman/man/woman etc. This is indicated by the male figure having a broad upper body, the female figure having bigger hips. Each row of figures have slightly different shaped heads as well. Something that wasn't reproduced in his remake of the poster. The female figure highlighted in red is the seventh figure from left to right in that particular row of figures. The color red is the same as the "Purina" logo. That logo also appears on other posters too. The first thing I thought was that the "X" of the logo referred to the figure in red. Perhaps an order to kill, or target that figure in some way. Then I thought it's female and the X may refer to the X chromosome. Just some food for thought. -Hedge.
