EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous 1940s, as the world was embroiled in the cataclysmic events of World War II, the importance of unity and focus among the workforce was paramount. This powerful WW2 poster, titled "Cut this out of working hours," was designed by Victor Hicks to remind workers of the bigger picture and the importance of setting aside petty jealousies and bickering. The striking image features a snake, its jaws clamped around the hands of a clock, symbolizing time wasted on needless disputes. The snake's body is formed by a series of scissors, representing the countless hours lost to needless cutting and inefficiency. The caption, "Cut this out of working hours," serves as a poignant reminder to remember the enemy one is fighting and to focus on productivity and harmony in the workplace. The poster's design, with its bold typography and stark imagery, was an effective tool used by the government to inspire and guide workers during this critical period in history. The message was clear: put aside personal differences and work together to contribute to the war effort and ensure the success of the Allied forces. Victor Hicks, a renowned graphic designer of the time, expertly crafted this poster to resonate with the public and inspire a sense of unity and purpose. The 1940s, with their unique blend of adversity and determination, are a fascinating period in history, and this poster stands as a testament to the power of design to inspire and motivate.
