As the last assignment for our visual communication class, we were to create a poster that voiced our views on a certain topic. Opinions aside, they were also meant to draw inspirations from the mid century WPA posters.
The WPA posters were a way to visually communicate to the viewers of the time. Combining Graphics with Communication, these posters supported the addition of art in daily life. The Posters seemed to be one of two formats; either strong in graphics and simple in text, or the exact opposite. I chose my graphic to carry the piece, using as few words as possible. I wanted the poster to carry itself with little explanation. Though simple it may be, it was in the simplicity that the original posters made such an impact. The composition aided the power of the message, rather than detract from it.
