Jeff Kern design for "You Can Fool the People"

“You Can Fool All the People...”

This quote is attributed to both Abraham Lincoln and P.T. Barnum. With such confusion as to its authenticity it made sense to use equal parts Americana and circus in its visual interpretation. This mashup (both verbal + visual) could also suggest the questionable nature of the country at times, if one were so inclined to see it that way.
