Jamie Reid is mainly known for his input in the punk rock genre as he had designed many CD covers for bands such as the Sex Pilots as well as creating political posters, seeing as he was an anarchist, which means that believes that he finds himself to be self-governed. He had worked in the era before there were computers, using hand written text that was later taped to collages that were the CD covers and posters that he created. An example of this is the "God Save Our Forest" poster, where he took a picture of a tree, pasted the sun and moons in various places on it, pictures of two people cutting the tree down or rather getting ready to, and children hand and hand surrounding it. Below it was the text itself, and it looks almost as if it is used in a ransom note type text, using cut outs of letters or words that were cut out of other places, like magazines. I chose this artist because I think his designs are different, in a sense that he put a creative twist on things in a way, as well as the fact that I'm pretty familiar with the genre of punk rock.
