by John Foster and John Foster

Book Overview

New in Paperback

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.

Customer Reviews

Great poster book

I like this book, the way it show the posters and information about it. the posters and designers ares really good example of poster design.

Great designs

This book is filled with fabulous designs and ideas. Definitely refreshes the mind when stuck in a rut with old ideas. Like taking a nice, cool shower after getting dirty doing yard work!

Poster greatest hits

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.

Posters, posters and more posters!

I found the collection of posters in this book to be amazing! It has such a wide range of artists and designers. Anyone who is a fan or a pro would love this book.

Great Book of Inspiration

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.
