Every graphic designer’s dream format — the poster is perennially inspiring and provides some great ‘classics’ from the graphic design cannon. Type, and its interplay with imagery, is the essential ingredient of great poster design. Speakers will draw upon on a single letter used in a poster and tell the story behind its design and context. This is a rich and diverse topic to delve into — from early advertising posters, to wartime propaganda; classic movie posters, to design for transport: these are just a few sources of inspiration for our speakers on the theme of ‘Posters’.
