Zimbabwean Trillion Dollar Flyer

The image above came from the publication The Best Advertising and Design in the World By D & AD Annual. That right there should tell ya this is a pretty genius design. In order to understand and appreciate why I chose this page out of the 589 pages in the whole book. Its a rather large book. Anyways, the paper notes was the form of "cash" in Zimbabwe until Mugabe made it worthless. Now, the Z$ trillion note has been turned into flyers by printing the campaign right onto it. Which the night before they did not even have the money to cover advertising charges. The powerful and supreme idea used Mugabe's own creation against him.
