More smart political art

Foote Cone & Belding, founded in 1873, is the world's third-oldest advertising agency. According to their website,

This award-winning campaign (FIAP Grand Prix) was created by FCB Portugal for the Portuguese newsmagazine Grande Reportagem, and is intended to reflect the values and independent approach of insightful, smart, assertive journalism. All data is taken from reputable sources including Amnesty International and the United Nations.

It's ingenious and wonderfully designed, hard-hitting, and informative. Click-through for full-sized imagery.
