The Welsh designer whose 'TIME cover' fooled the internet

When graphic designer Patrick Mulder saw the horror unfolding in Ukraine, he wanted to make a statement.

He wanted to contribute a bold artistic message to the discourse surrounding Vladimir Putin’s ordering of Russian forces across the border.

It’s safe to say he certainly achieved that.

Using the iconic US news magazine TIME as his frame, his image of Putin uses part of Adolf Hitler’s face supplanted onto the Russian president. It was bold, powerful and effective.

Patrick’s image has been shared thousand of times, fooling the internet into believing the image they are reposting is in fact the cover artwork of the latest edition of Time magazine.

1. I only wish TIME would show that kind of biting truthful commentary...

At least they aren't the far RW debacle that is Newsweek nowadays.

6. It would be just as crazy to superimpose tRump's on these mags too, just to

side by side tRump's ignorance too, that Hitler had of his so called 'I alone, know it all' mentality (like tRump being accused of not even knowing where Ukraine was on a map, and Hitler poring over maps in WWII).

I relish seeing putin being put in his place, I suspect that he never anticipated such a response from Ukraine's citizens and/or military. The damage done to putin by putin is unlimited and will last a long, long time.
