Poster-Art

Innovation in Poster Design

by Charlotte Rivers

Posters have long been an integral part of the cityscape. Not only do they provide useful information, but they are also outdoor exhibitions of graphic art.

Poster-Art explores the exciting area of poster design in what is an essential examination of everything that goes into making a poster what it is. It looks at how the colour, artwork and typography are used to achieve a successful design, which must be attention grabbing, succinct, convincing and memorable.

Poster-Art showcases an international collection of graphic design in this continually developing area. The book looks at mass-market designs, while also featuring exclusive limited-edition works, and explores both the creative inspiration behind the work as well as the practical considerations.

Through its detailed analyses of real work, Poster-Art leaves no stone unturned in its exploration of the intriguing world of poster design.
