To promote, protest, inspire, harass&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What is it that makes a poster more than just an advert? Poster design is a field where artists and designers can express their creativity in an entirely unique format. Similar to album artwork, a poster can often cross that fine line between art and design. The truly great posters, break free the constraints of the printed canvas, transcending their original function and go on to lead a life of their own.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, a lot of posters fall very short, neither functioning as a useful piece of graphic design or bringing joy, through sheer aesthetic pleasure. I won\u2019t share any examples of these, as walk down any high street or stand on any train platform and you will see them all around. Actually, you won\u2019t. They will just be lost in all the noise and banality of media trash that causes us to look down and stare blankly into our shiny mobile devices for some form of escape.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, lets look at some truly eye-catching and iconic image making. These true creatives have experimented with illustration, typography, negative space and more to produce something that I believe is truly inspiring, and failing that, just beautiful to look at.<\/p>\n<p>The original image that inspired me to write this article, I first discovered whilst at Art College and I still see it 20 years on as a truly inspirational piece of design. This is a perfect example of form and function by Fritz Schleifer. The \u2018Bauhaus Ausstellung\u2019 Exhibition poster in 1923 uses simple geometric forms, a refined colour palette and concise typography that come together to form this unique image that I wish we saw more of.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6007\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-2-White.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-2-White.jpg 811w, https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-2-White-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-2-White-747x1024.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To find out more about Bauhaus design, visit bauhaus-movement <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bauhaus-movement.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following this theme, this contemporary film poster by Olly Moss uses paired back form, simple, refined typography and a bold colour palette.

Famous for his collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, producing title sequences for his films, alongside promotional posters, his use of simple forms and bold use of colour convey a message unique to each film. Take a look at\u00a0some great <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artofthetitle.com\/feature\/the-title-design-of-saul-and-elaine-bass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">examples<\/a> of ground-breaking title sequences for some iconic films.<\/p>\n<p>Following the movie scene, who can forget the life changing effect this poster has had on a small boy visiting the beach. The artist credited with creating the \u2018Jaws\u2019 image was Roger Kastel. What I love is its flagrant disregard for scale and proportion. It doesn\u2019t matter, the artist is trying to evoke and emotional response which ties in beautifully with the suspense you feel whilst watching the film.

Shepard Fairey, originally known for his \u2018Andre the Giant\u2019 guerrilla sticker campaigns created this now-iconic \u2018Hope\u2019 poster of then-Senator Obama. This political poster shares more than one similarity to the Che Guevara image \u2013 A strong colour palette, bold forms and powerful message.

I think most people will remember their \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y9znA_dwjHw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Surfer<\/a>\u2019 TV ad . But it is their earlier printed campaigns that stand out as genuinely iconic. Find out more about how the Toucan came about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.historyhouse.co.uk\/articles\/guinness_toucan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. I will just sit back and smile (as I do every time) when I look at this wonderfully original poster. The concept came from advertising agency of S.H.Benson back in 1935 using, among others, the Toucan illustration (below) by\u00a0John Gilroy as one of many produced to promote Guinness for almost 50 years until\u00a01982. Thankfully, they still produce wonderfully creative, sometimes off the wall, adverts which is a testament to both the company and the agencies they employ.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-6-White.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-6-White.jpg 811w, https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-6-White-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.mzuri.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MZURI-BLOG-ARTICLE-HERO-IMAGE-\u2013-1600-x-700px-copy-6-White-747x1024.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And what better place to stop. If you can\u2019t look at a poster and have an immediate emotional reaction, whether it be one of joy, sadness, hysteria or anger, then I don\u2019t see the point of its initial creation. I will look on these examples of original creativity from designers and artist with true talent, skill and passion and look to push myself to create designs that are equally meaningful, memorable and hopefully inspirational.<\/p>\n<p>Now though, it is a \u2018Lovely day for a Guinness\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Bob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the purpose of a poster?
