An AI generated photograph of four propaganda-style posters pasted side-by-side on a weathered brick wall beneath a railway bridge. From left to right, the posters read “BE MORE HUMAN,” “BE LESS FROG,” “ATTENTION IS CURRENCY,” and “SPEND IT WISELY,” each in bold red, black, and cream graphics. The paper is creased, slightly misaligned, and layered over remnants of older torn posters. Three commuters walk past in the foreground, motion-blurred and looking down at their smartphones. Street bollards, a utility box, and a CCTV camera mounted high on the wall are also pictured.
Two bold, propaganda-inspired graphics in red, black, and cream. The first poster says ‘ATTENTION IS CURRENCY’ with an all-seeing eye centered over red sunburst rays on a black background. The second says ‘SPEND IT WISELY’ above a hand discharging a coin with an image of the all-seeing eye on it.
