Fancy-ass posters are a dime a dozen these days. Wallpaper companies are totally shaking in their glue-proof shoes. You can even buyfancy-ass sticking-stuff-to-the-wall products. Where will it all end? What happened to cheap posters? Where is the TV Week lift-out equivalent that we can contact onto our work folders? Studio Pip & Co are attempting to correct this imbalance in their Twenty Dollars Only exhibition at IMP.

It's funny when graphic designers produce work unfettered by client demands and budget limitations. Adopting, Freud-like, a kind of pain-obsessed productivity, they tend to re-enact the frustrations of their trade (ie: budget limitations and restrictions on materials). Why? This is unclear. Let us not attempt to analyse here the deep and twisted mentality of the designer.

Instead, let us buy one of these 90 affordable poster designs on A1 or A2 street poster stock for sticking on the fancy-ass lids of our desks.
