Description
The Ten Commandments were set in stone, but it may be time for a re-chisel. With all due humility, the author [Christopher Hitchens] takes on the job, pruning the ethically dubious, challenging the impossible, and rectifying some serious omissions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9weXGtCk7c).
The poster shows the revised commandments set in 8 weights of the Gotham font to match the tone in the original photo by Christian Witken. In all, the image is made up of 62,635 characters.
The poster was created for the Hitchmas 2018 celebration in Oslo (http://www.hitchmas.com).
