Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In much the way that the CD replaced the album, the poster has waned as a messaging vehicle. The poster has now become a postcard and e-mail blast, leaving many to long for the lost age when posters were not only major promotional vehicles, but also artwork worthy of framing.

Some of the world's best designers just could not stand idle while the poster fell by the wayside. They turned to the poster for personal expression and as an outlet from more restrictive mediums.

This book showcases their breathtaking artwork, which has proven that the poster can still serve as a worthy communications tool. In doing so, they've brought the poster back to prominence. In this book, the author has compiled the world's finest new work at the height of this rebirth. There is currently no book on the market that can claim it features a "definitive" poster collection.

About the Author

John Foster's posters have been featured in every major design publication and numerous books, and he is the author of Maximum Design, (HOW books 2005.) His clients have included MGM, Coca-Cola, AOL and Hilton to FX, National Geographic, and The National Zoo. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poster greatest hits, March 27, 2007

By	C F Kane "Marcelo Pereira" (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This is a very up to date collection of poster portfolios from graphic designers around the world. Besides the overall quality, the interesting point is the diversity (of origins and approaches) and the texts about the creation process of each piece. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book of Inspiration, April 21, 2006

By	Queenie (Santa Cruz, California) - See all my reviews

Not only is the book fun to look at but the writing is top notch. The author adds a lot of incite and does a great job of describing the ideas behind the work. My personal faves include Jewboy, Thinkmule and Modern Dog. (The only mediocre work in the whole book is from Sandstrom, who seem sorely out of place). You'll love this book if you love art and design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Designs!, October 11, 2009

By	Sylvia Gutierrez "Latina" (San Antonio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: New Master's of Poster Design: Poster Design for the Next Century (Paperback)

I bought this book for inspiration and it did not let me down! I think all the poster ideas are very inspirational and I love the introduction to each design firm/artist at the beginning of each section. Another neat thing about this book is that they give you the specs and process for each of the designs. But of course, my favorite thing was the artwork--loved it!
