Poster-Art written by Charlotte Rivers is an ideal page turner for those poster junkies out there containing the very many elements in poster design.
This thickly bound book first captures your attention with its well said quotes each leading you into a new direction, wether it simply be about art or typography. “Posters are ‘time capsules’, a social artifact documenting a specific place and event,” stated by Robynne Raye is simply sprawled acr
oss a page in large lettering highlighted by the pastel pink design behind, immediately directing us further.
Poster-Art doesn’t only bore those who hate to read with quotes and pages of too much text, but harmoniously demonstrates the beautiful works of many designers as well as providing small snippets of information for those who can look beyond the picture.
Some of the work contained within Poster-Art are works by Eduardo Recife and Andy Mueller who each individually explore different elements of graphic design and poster art in aesthetic and memorable ways. These art works are carefully layered across the page each containing their own description about their works and the inspiration the received in the making process.
Poster-Art is a good read or flick through in the picture lovers cases, exploring the world of posters and the ideas of which they originated. So if you are up for a good read assuming posters are your tidbit I would nominate Poster-Art to be number one on that forever growing christmas list of yours.
