How Posters Changed History

Posters have a pretty fascinating history. From Hokusai to Shepard Fairey, this video explores the evolution of poster design. Starting with Vintage Poster history, and the advancements in lithography by Jules Cheret, the heart of the video lauds the contributions made by Leonetto Cappiello and the Art Deco movement. We see these changes in the recruiting posters of World War I and the propaganda posters of World War II, right up through to vintage movie posters and recent Madison Avenue advertising campaigns. We use the visual vocabulary of all these designs to develop our own design recipe. Our posters are for sale on our website, and we also accept retro poster design commissions. Our designs are drawn by hand, so we’re able to work with clients to develop a design that’s both personal and a piece of art.
