 How did the ideologies and values of the hippie subculture affect visual culture?

I have been looking into 'family dog presents' posters.

Design for Print & Web // Further Visual Research

These images below were all sourced from design inspiration.  They don't particularly relate to the brief but I admire the aesthetics of them all so thought I'd record them here.  For my visuals for the brief I would like to design something more creative like this than just road signs which was my initial idea.

Design for Print & Web // Visual Research

I have picked the brief 'On yer bike' as I love cycling and thought I could probably relate to this brief the most. 

This is the last years winner for the competition, their design shows great digital skill but I think it could be more exciting.

 So far this is the visual research that has caught my eye.

Clever:  Bikes made into furniture!

Here are some cool road marking typogprahy I found on http://designspiration.net/image/4088022580599/.  Something like this would work well to guide cyclists around cities and gives you a larger surface area to work with than just a sign post.
