Frank Underwood of House of Cards Gets Campaign Posters Inspired by Those From History

The third season of Netflix’s government drama House of Cards will officially be available to stream on Friday. And (spoiler alert) Frank Underwood has consolidated his power. Apparently, lots of scheming, backstabbing and murdering pays off.

What better way to celebrate the Underwood’s success than to imagine what his presidential campaign posters would have looked like, had he taken a more traditional route? That’s exactly what Mashable did, taking inspiration from real presidential posters from Obama, Kennedy, Johnson, Taft and more. 

Oh, and for good measure, there are a few touting Claire’s rise, too.

L’artiste Henry Hargreaves a fait une série de gelées basées sur les couleurs du drapeau américain : rouge, blanc et bleu, qui calquent les profils des présidents américains. On retrouve Barack Obama, Lincoln, Reagan, Clinton et bien d’autres. Une série amusante à découvrir sur Fubiz dans la suite de l’article.
