Martin Walker

British designer Martin Walker turned bold typography and stark slogans into rallying cries on 1970s protest posters. In “The George Davis Campaign Presents A March” (1976) he asked workers to take to the streets, while “No Franco. No Americans. No King.” (1976) condensed complex politics into four short lines. Walker’s “Squatters Convention on Housing” (1974) pinned urgent demands to peeling walls, and “We Only Feel The Chains When We Start To Move” (1976) urged collective action with a single stark image. Tap into “Brinsley Schwartz” (1974) to hear how his sharp lettering cut through the noise of the era.
