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 a timely and essential examination of everything that goes into making a poster. The book looks at how the color, artwork, and typography are used to achieve a successful design: attention grabbing, succinct, convincing, and memorable. Poster-Art showcases an international collection of graphic design in this continually developing area. From mass-market designs to exclusive, limited-edition works, the book explores both the creative inspiration behind the works, as well as the practical considerations. Through its detailed analyses, Poster-Art leaves no stone unturned in its exploration of the exciting area of poster design.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Visually Excellent!,
This review is from: Poster-Art: Innovation in Poster Design (Hardcover)
I got this book to give me some more ideas in poster design and it's fantastic! Some works are really arty and don't really communicate the fundamentals of who, when and where, clearly however, there are a great many examples in here of excellent poster design concepts and artwork. Overall if you're simply looking for a whole bunch of different visual idea's then this book is great!
