On the left is my hand-painted sign in the style of the Hippie Protest Signs of the Sixties scanned in and edited to fit in with the style of the publication. 'The true drug of the sixties' the pill kick started the sexual revolution. The yellow dotted background represents lots and lots of little contraceptive pills. It does not matter if this is not obvious because it has a good effect which is similar to effects I have seen in design in my research.
I have written previously about what this quote means and where it came from. The image is duo toned and I think it works much better like this as it isn't as distracting from the information on the right. The use of pink emphasises the fact this book is more about women's liberation and women's troubles.
The quote on the left is the beginning of where I begin to talk more about how the Sexual Revolution wasn't all free love and flowers.
Women Against Pornography March in the seventies showed a change in attitude towards sex.
