The poster above is a photograph of a crying kid manipulated by the designer for a Tokyo exhibition in 1995. Seiju Toda, the designer, modified the picture in such a way to dramatize children's anxiety over their future. This is an example of bad design. The kid does not look anxious about his future, to me he is alien like and he might have laser eyes. Also, the name of the campaign is Future Under Crying Kids. Notice when the words are abbreviated it turns into...well you know. Something the designer probably did not even notice since the design firm is based in Asia. I found this piece in the publication On Edge: Breaking the Boundaries of Graphic Design By Karen D Fishler.
