The ITRPF Street Team brings it to you first again. Beautiful poster by Rob Jones for The Dead Weather show last night in Jack White's home town of Detroit. Metallic silver inks are just stunning. Everything is in some number code. Anyone got a secret decoder ring ?
UPDATE
Lower left says "PosterbyRobJonesatAnimalrummycom"
Center says "DCTSEVEN" the only symbol I'm not sure about is the one that looks like joined 9's. Ok after putting the letters in an anagram program the most likely meaning is Sect Vend. Both Latin words, look them up on Wiki.
The word sect comes from the Latin noun secta (a feminine form of a variant past particple of the verb sequi, to follow), meaning "(beaten) path", and figuratively a (prescribed) way, mode, or manner, and hence metonymously, a discipline or school of thought as defined by a set of methods and doctrines. The present gamut of meanings of sect has been influenced by confusion with the homonymous (but etymologically unrelated) Latin word secta (the feminine form of the past participle of the verb secare, to cut), as sects were scissions cut away from the mainstream religion. Note that speakers of some other languages use the same word for both the meaning sect and the meaning cult, for example in Italian: setta.
Loosely translated, Selling an idea or agenda perhaps. Rob is famous for putting many hidden little things and references in his posters. So its kind of hard to say what his literal meaning or intention was for the title.
