Poster Art
Poster art is a type of 2D printed artwork that is hung on a wall.
A poster is a visual communication tool that combines words and images to promote ideas, products, causes, or events. It's mass-produced and displayed to catch the public's eye. To succeed, a poster must instantly capture attention and hold it until the message is conveyed.
Posters can feature graphics, text, or a mix of both and are used by advertisers, propagandists, and others to inspire people to take action, like purchasing a product, supporting a cause, or adopting a belief. This can be achieved through striking designs, captivating colours, or compelling images, with no fixed formula for success.
