Newspeak Hats
Description: The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania. As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word.

Description: Someone didn't care for INGSOC's sign, "Big Brother is watching you," so they added a little commentary in Newspeak. Big Brother is doubleplusungood! Orwell's 1984 is a bit too appropriate for our current political situation. See my other liberal designs in the Feminist and LGBTQ album.

Description: "If a Chinese wants to be called a Chinese and not a Chinaman, if a Scotsman objects to be called a Scotchman, or if a Negro demands his capital N, it is only the most ordinary politeness to do what is asked of one." -George Orwell, "As I Please," Daily Herald/Tribune (27 February 1947).
Description: Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian novel and cautionary tale by English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. Orwell, a staunch believer in democratic socialism and member of the anti-Stalinist Left, modelled the Britain under authoritarian socialism in the novel on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism and on the very similar practices of both censorship and propaganda in Nazi Germany.
Description: In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. This bold and brilliantly conceived mixed-media collage pays tribute to George Orwell — the visionary author, fearless journalist, and political conscience of the 20th century whose warnings about totalitarianism, surveillance, and the corruption of language have never felt more urgent. His intense, unblinking portrait is rendered in a striking low-poly mosaic of cool greys and whites, while a horizontal band of aged newspaper — amber and worn, like a headline torn from a forbidden press — cuts directly across his eyes bearing his name, simultaneously concealing and revealing, censoring and declaring. It is the most Orwellian thing a design could do.

Description: George Orwell - Mr. Charrington's Junk Shop was a seemingly ordinary shop in the proles district, that serves as a trap for the Thought Police. It is filled with antiques and relics from the past, which Winston finds intriguing and symbolic of a time before the Party's rule. "But he lingered for some minutes more, talking to the old man, whose name, he discovered, was not Weeks — as one might have gathered from the inscription over the shop-front — but Charrington. Mr Charrington, it seemed, was a widower aged sixty-three and had inhabited this shop for thirty years. Throughout that time he had been intending to alter the name over the window, but had never quite got to the point of doing it."
