Compensation for Missing Limbs, a Pirate Poster

By Alex in Art, Pictures on Oct 14, 2008 at 3:57 pm

San Francisco design studio office designed a series of excellent pirate-themed black, white and gold posters for Dave Egger’s store/tutoring center 826 Valencia in San Francisco. I quite like this "Compensation for Missing Limbs" poster, though the beard-o-graphical "Beards are the New Black" is excellent too! (you’ll see)

    I remember being in highschool and reading some insurance thing I had to sign, and it had lists of compensation for limbs. I was so weirded out because people make such a big deal about the pirate thing.

    This brings a whole new meaning to “severance” pay.

    Finally we know how much “an arm and a leg” is!

    Interesting that right arms cost more than lefts. Good news for lefty pirates, I guess.

    @ Xinavera

    I think you got that backwards…shouldn’t the lefties be a little angry that the loss of their limb is considerably less than a right one?

    Yeah thats definitely right the lefties should be annoyed! The poster design is great though even if it is harsh on the left handed among us.
