it should have the website address somewhere. a lot of print publications are gaining readers on the internet. that's the only reason i can think of.

Is this student work? The image isn't very well set up or well shot let alone cleaned up at all.

I shot it myself. I'll take the blame for that part. :)

what are the strange signs on your numlock keyboard? Is it maori numbers or something?

Those are Indian numbers. They are in use in Middle Eastern countries.

Not all Economist ads are clever.

That should be an ad.

Unfortunately the line doesn't work as substance is a very inaccurate description of the Economist. Nothing worse than a clever line that isn't clever. You could say "Consume some mind expanding substance" which is more accurate but then perhaps too abstract.

hey ivan - that is a terrible pic :)

However, before anyone rips apart the headline you may want to know that this first appeared as a poster many, many, many years ago. And back then, it was very much on strategy.
