ELF skrev:Rock Posters

The vibrating colors and illegible typographic lettering of psychedelic concert posters in the late 60’s gave us a universal graphic language for the hippie sex, drugs and rock’n’roll era. Posters were designed to advertise bands, appeal to aficionados and offend everyone else. Hip-capitalist entrepreneurs, however, quickly reduced real psychedelia to a youth-culture style that sold everything from tie-dyed neckties to Volkswagen vans.
What came next, in the 70’s, was punk music – and an anarchic graphic sensibility typified by D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself), a deliberately clumsy hodgepodge of images that were cut and pasted and frequently stolen and photocopied. Punk was known for its ransom-note aesthetic; it broke the tenets of legibility but telegraphed clear-coded messages to its audience.

Det finns ingenting i texten som tyder på att det skulle vara "commercial rather than artistic". Däremot står det att andra personer gjorde det commercial.

Förutom att det står illegible så står det om "ransom-note aesthetics", vilket också hintar om att det skulle kunna vara svårt att läsa. Att det står "telegraphed clear-coded messages" betyder inte att det är lätt att läsa, bara att budskapet är lätt att förstå.

Slutsats: Det finns ofta flera saker man kan ta ett svar på i en ELF-text. Det handlar sällan om endast ett ord, även om det underlättar att kunna ett nyckelord.
