There’s No ‘I’ In Team (And We Don’t Need A Stupid Poster To Clarify This Point) 

DegreeArt.com Offers Updated Motivational Posters For Beleaguered City Workers.


As the recession continues to bite, it is inevitable that less is being spent on interior design in the working environment.

Recent data suggests that instead of investing in good art to raise the spirits and inspire employees, some office managers are cutting costs and purchasing motivational posters of the type not seen since the nineties.
 

When Given Lemons by John Williams

Across the Square Mile, meeting rooms are being plastered with images of sandy beaches, hugging white-toothed characters in block-coloured polo shirts, or silhouettes of stairs – all emblazoned with meaningless, stultifyingly intelligence-insulting phrases like ‘There’s no I In Team’ or ‘With Teamwork Anything Is Possible’.

DegreeArt believes that far from being inspirational, these bland throwback posters with their sinister Orwellian sentiments actually sap creativity, depress all those who come into contact with them, and destroy the soul.

The Best Thing About Working In The City by Louise McNaught


Don’t just take our word for it. A recent University of Exeter study found that art-enriched work
environments improve productivity by around 15%.
 
When office workers are given a say in the design of their workplace, the research revealed that productivity increases by 30%.
 
DegreeArt salutes those offices enlightened enough to rent or purchase affordable works from our stable of artists.

But, for those who are absolutely wedded to the idea that workplace art should prove self-referential and overtly inspirational, we have produced a special range of limited edition, affordable ‘motivational posters’ crafted for the modern age.
 
DegreeArt artists Louise McNaught and John Williams have created some alternatives for your board room which illustrate this article.
 
The Root Of All Happiness by John Williams
Happy Lady, 59.4 x 42 x 0 cm, £175.00

Motivation is in the mind of the motivated, and whether you take our artists designs at face value or consider them to be ever-so-slightly tongue-in-cheek, we consider them to be far more interesting and challenging than the current options.

 
Each print is available to buy as a limited edition print for £175 (one of 25 digital prints, A2 on 250 gsm).

DegreeArt artists are also available to produce limited edition designs, based around the slogans below:
 
  • Size does matter (the London Stock Exchange is the largest
    in the world)    When Given Lemons by John Williams
  • 17% of UK GDP is dependent on you
  • Marching never reduced a deficit
  • Keep calm and make more money
  • There are 78 countries bigger than the UK, only six have bigger economies
  • Without the City of London there wouldn’t be a city of London
  • You might lose your friends and your respectability, but you’ll never lose your bonus
  • While the 1% Occupy the workplace, the other 99% have gone camping
  • If all else fails, there’s always Switzerland...
