In 2008, the Wolfsonian Museum at Florida International University invited 60 contemporary designers to submit their own interpretations of Norman Rockwell’s well-known “Four Freedoms” posters from 1943. Rockwell based his set of posters, which promoted war bonds, on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 speech enumerating the essential human freedoms as “Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear.” The resulting poster exhibition, “Thoughts on Democracy: Reinterpreting Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms Posters,” was on view at the Wolfsonian and then traveled to other venues around the country and the world.

Manuel Estrada’s corporate identity firm, Estrada design, has offices in Madrid and Miami, and Estrada also works as a book designer. His poster design conceives of the four freedoms as the four chambers of the human heart.

The posters from the exhibition are all digitally printed on thick paper.
