Untitled is a 1980 by U-Print Collective, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows two people standing outside a building. One leans against a wooden ledge, arms crossed, while the other stands nearby with hands in pockets. Behind them, a black-and-white photo of a chaotic crowd fills a window, with the words "Army R.A.F." on the wall. To the left, pink block letters spell out "OVER THE" vertically, and at the bottom, a small logo reads "Theatre Collective Cydweli Hirredol." The poster mixes stark black-and-white images with bold pink and white text, creating a striking contrast. The chaotic crowd in the window looks like it’s from an old photo, while the modern text feels fresh. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more posters like this.
The work is a laminated, landscape-oriented poster in black, white, and pink, created by U-Print Collective in 1980. It depicts an Army/R.A.F. building with a window showing a pink battlefield scene of World War I soldiers. A man outside touches his head to one of the soldiers in the window, while another man leans in the building's doorway.

In the 1980s, a loose group of designers and activists splashed bold colors onto posters for festivals they hoped would change the scene in Cardiff.
