Graphic design gets a sense of humour in new Netflix campaign

Netflix is a Joke campaign

Netflix returned to LA for its annual Netflix is a Joke festival this month, with the event accompanied by a brand new visual system created by Mother Design. Entitled Slap, Stick, the campaign centres around the question the team had never been asked before: is graphic design funny?

The campaign features an "obnoxious-but-friendly, self-vandalistic" style, with monochrome images punctuated by bright and colourful 'stickers'. It's a simple campaign, but remarkably fun for a global streaming platform. (Inspired to create a fun poster of your own? Take a look at our guide on how to download Photoshop.)
