Would you expect "Vote for me" posters to be better from an arts uni that a science one?

This evening I went to my other half's degree show (she just finished her second year at Wimbledon College of Art studying Fine Art). It was described by one of our friends as "Varied but promising." The problem I had with it was that unlike the first year's show it didn't have the feel of it being finished. Anyway enough of art for the moment.

As I was coming out I saw these two posters for a candidate for student trustee. All I thought to myself was "wow that is bland and would never have caught my eye if it didn't have student trustee in it." I sat back for a bit and realised why this bland poster jumped out at me so much. At Imperial most of the student election posters are pretty good (see when I stood for City & Guilds College Union President (the engineering faculty student union) http://mark4pres.blogspot.com. The material that was produced for that election was effective and I think well designed). But club posters are generally below standard.

Whereas in this hot bed of creativity real drivle comes out. Oh well let's see if he gets elected.
