A vintage-style poster designed to look like aged parchment. At the top, in large serif lettering, it reads: “COMMON SENSE FOR A NEW GENERATION.” Below that, in slightly smaller text: “ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA,” with “PEOPLE” spaced out in uppercase letters, and “OF AMERICA,” centered and stylized. In the middle of the poster is a bold black illustration of an old-fashioned oil lantern, with simple radiating lines around it suggesting light. Under the lantern, in decorative serif text, it says: “On the following SUBJECTS:” Below that is a four-part list in Roman numerals: “I. The Duties of Free Government II. The Dangers of Personal Rule III. The Present State of the Republic IV. The Responsibilities of Its Citizens” Under the list is a centered quote: “‘The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resisting it.’ – Thomas Paine” At the bottom, in small serif text: “Written by an American, Three Days Before Thanksgiving. November, the 24th, 2025.” The overall aesthetic resembles an 18th-century pamphlet or broadside, evoking the style of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

I have completed my newest little creative endeavor. Otherwise known as a rant.

I present to you:

COMMON SENSE FOR A NEW GENERATION.

I did not expect to write this or make this but here I am. So. Behold.
