Ben Terrett's Design for 'The Second World War' Ben Terrett's graphic design for "The Second World War," a seven part series in UK's periodical, The Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/secondworldwar The Second World War. I don't often put my own work on here but this one is a bit special. It's an ad to promote The Guardian's seven part series on The Second World War. I did it at w+k a few weeks ago with Rob Burleigh as the copywriter. There's a TV ad and some digital stuff too, but it looks great as a big piece of print. [Noisy Decent Graphics] 9:45:04 AM
