When it comes to designing posters, there are some that impact the world with dramatic imagery/typography and messages, and then there are those posters that are just fun and simple and get to the point.
I found these posters in various places such as design magazine, websites and I even noticed them up on the walls at my college at Natcoll. These trendy and smart posters were designed by Christopher David Ryan of Atmostheory and named this set of three posters the Commands set. Ryan has used the common commands that you can use on Mac computers and created a message into them. For example, with the first poster he has used the command + c short key and command + n short key symbols which stand for "copy" and "new" to communicate the message "Please do not copy, create something new". To me, this is thinking outside the box in a simple and effective way.
