This book sets out to explore the way, with the onset of a new and
integral relationship between text and image, the modern poster is
able to evolve distinctive persuasive strategies that will
transform modern advertising. The book shows how this fundamental
development is closely related to contemporary developments in the
visual arts - in particular Futurism and Art Deco - and reflects
the increasing cross-fertilisation and symbiosis between art and
graphic design. The book focuses in particular on the way
conventional textual strategies - metaphor, metonymy, rebus - are
adapted by the modern poster to produce visual or textual/visual
equivalents which, through their employment of combined pictorial
and linguistic elements maximise their attractive or persuasive
power over the viewer/reader. A key aim of the book is to clarify
the assumptions on which semiology (the study of signs) is based in
the context of modern poster artists' practice. The text/image
relation is explored through five chapters focussing on (1) the
rhetoric of image/text in general; (2) text and image in airline
logos: British Airways and Air France; (3) visual metonymies in
boxing posters; (4) text and image in posters expressing speed; (5)
text/image in Swiss tourist posters. There are approximately 120
colour illustrations arranged in groups that reflect the different
orientations of the chapters.

In the late 1960s, IBM was one of the world's pre-eminent
corporations, employing over 250,000 people in 100 countries and
producing some of the most advanced products on earth. IBM
President Thomas J. Watson Jnr. sought to elevate the company's
image by hiring world-renowned design consultants, including Eliot
Noyes and Paul Rand. As well as developing the iconic IBM logo and
a corporate design guide, Rand also brought together a remarkable
team of internal staff designers. One of the designers he
hand-picked was Ken White, who, along with John Anderson and Tom
Bluhm, headed up the design team at the IBM Design Center in
Boulder, Colorado. Together, they initiated a poster program as a
platform for elevating internal communications and initiatives
within the company. These posters were displayed in hallways,
conferences rooms and cafeterias throughout IBM campuses, with
subject matter including everything from encouraging equal
opportunity policies to reminders on best security practices to
promoting a family fun day. Designers often incorporated figurative
typography, dry humor, visual puns, and photography to craft
memorable and compelling messages. Many of the posters won Type
Directors Club awards and a large number were 're-appropriated'
from walls by enthusiastic IBM employees. While Paul Rand's
creative genius has been well documented, the work of the IBM staff
designers who executed his intent outlined in the IBM Design Guide
has often gone unnoticed. The poster designs by White, Anderson,
and Bluhm included in this book represent some of the most creative
examples of mid-century corporate graphic design, while offering a
unique commentary into corporate employee communications of the
period. They also embody the full extent to which Thomas J. Watson
Jr.'s mantra, "Good Design is Good Business" permeated every facet
of the IBM organization, and created a lasting influence on curated
corporate design in America.

Over the years the motion picture industry has (sadly) gravitated
to generating poorly cropped and heavily airbrushed posters that
rely far too often on celebrity head shots. Thankfully, an
underground network of graphic designers and artists has
reinvigorated the art of the movie poster, crafting stunning pieces
for classic and cult films. Here is the first comprehensive look at
the movement, presenting this eclectic and dynamic medium through
more than 200 eye-popping posters from over 100 cutting-edge
artists, coupled with fascinating commentary and behind-the-scenes
information. These new, underground posters have quickly become the
most coveted by ardent moviegoers; they are typically produced in
very limited runs, sell out within minutes, and command upwards of
several hundred dollars each. With a smart, fresh visual
perspective, alternative movie posters celebrate classics like Star
Wars, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining as well as cult
favorites: The Big Lebowski, Blade Runner, and Pink Flamingos.

delightful set of posters evokes the golden era of British rail
travel. These advertisements for great holiday destinations will
recreate the spirit of those halcyon summers. Destinations include
Falmouth: "Equable climate all year round," Devon, Cromer: "Where
the poppies grow," Colwyn Bay: "The Gateway to the Welsh Rockies,"
Felixstowe, The Cambrian Coast: "Miles of glorious sands," The
Norfolk Broads: "200 miles of safe inland waterways," and
Edinburgh.
Picturing the Cosmos elucidates the complex relationship between
visual propaganda and censorship in the Soviet Union in the Cold
War period, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing from a
comprehensive corpus of rarely seen photographs and other visual
phenomena narrating the Soviet Union's 1957 victory in the 'Race
for Space', the author illustrates the media's role in cementing
the way for Communism whilst retaining top-secret information. Each
photo is examined as a deliberate, functioning part of a specific
political, ideological and historical situation that helped to
anchor the otherwise abstract political and intellectual concepts
of the future and modernization.
A Modern Master Robert E. McGinnis began his career in 1947 as a
cartoonist, and produced his first cover illustrations for 1956
issues of the magazines True Detective and Master Detective. Then
in 1958, he painted his first paperback book cover, and from that
day forward his work was in demand. The emergence of the "McGinnis
Woman" - long-legged, intelligent, alluring, and enigmatic -
established him as the go-to artist for detective novels. His work
appeared on Mike Shayne titles and the Perry Mason series, and he
produced 100 paintings for the Carter Brown adventures. Yet
McGinnis became famous for his work in other genres as well:
espionage, romance, historicals, gothics, and Westerns. McGinnis's
first major magazine assignments were for The Saturday Evening
Post, and his work has graced the pages of Cosmopolitan, National
Geographic, Good Housekeeping, Guideposts, and others. McGinnis
women frequently cropped up in the men's magazines of the '60s and
'70s. His first movie poster was for Breakfast at Tiffany's, with
an iconic rendering of Audrey Hepburn. Almost instantly, his poster
artwork could be seen everywhere - in theaters, on billboards, in
newspapers, and even on soundtrack albums. His work for Hollywood
became a who's-who, with posters for James Bond, The Odd Couple,
Woody Allen, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, and many more.
Some of his most ambitious works have been his gallery paintings,
often depicting stunning American landscapes, vast Western vistas,
and of course, beautiful women. The Art of Robert E. McGinnis
collection reveals the full scope and beauty of the work of a true
American master - one whose legacy continues today.

Ray's movies, from 1949's Mighty Joe Young, to Clash of the Titans
in 1981. There has never been a book published devoted solely to

The Art of the Dead showcases the vibrant, charismatic poster art
that emerged from the streets of San Francisco in 1964 and 1966. It
traces the cultural, political, and historical influences of
posters as art back to Japanese wood blocks through Bell Epoque, on
to the Beatniks, the Free Speech Movement, and the Acid Tests.
Featuring interviews and profiles of the key artists, including
Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse Miller, Alton Kelley, Wes Wilson, and
Victor Moscoso.
The book uses Grateful Dead as the vehicle to tell the story of
poster art as The Dead were the band that ultimately proved to be
the most substantive and engaged partner for the artists and hence
featured the best art of any rock 'n' roll band ever. The book will
follow a chronological evolution of the art from the band's
origination in 1965 through Jerry Garcia's death in 1995.
The book is in four-color throughout, featuring iconic and rare
images as well as extensive process material, including sketches,
original art, blue lines, film, and printing plates that show how
the art was created. It will also include essays by Greil Marcus,
Peter Coyote, and Victoria Binder, as well as essays on the
elements of the printing process from the original art to the final
poster.
Ultimately, the Art of the Dead makes the case that poster art is
truly an original form of American fine art.

Keep calm and carry on. In 1939, Britain s Ministry of Information
produced this now-ubiquitous reminder to its citizens in the event
of widely predicted air attacks. But in the six consecutive years
before Germany s surrender to Allied forces, the British public
would feel keenly both the physical and moral hardships of war. To
boost morale and raise awareness of how citizens efforts might
helpor hinderthe wartime effort, one of the most effective forms
the British government had at its disposal was the poster. "British
Posters of the Second World War" presents one hundred posters from
this important period in world history. Some proclaimed in bold
type that Victory of the Allies is assured and featured stalwart
British soldiers alongside exaggerated enemy figures. Others,
however, hung on the walls of bus and railway stations, town halls,
and pubs, called for continued self-sufficiency, urging Britons to
raise chickens and join pig clubs. As the threat of espionage came
to be regarded as ever-present, another category of posters
cautioned soldiers and civilians alike against talking about the
war: Furtive Fritz is always listening warned one; another, Keep
mumshe s not so dumb. Drawing on the Imperial War Museum s
impressive collection of materials related to conflicts involving
Britain in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, "British
Posters of the Second World War" explores these campaigns and many
others with an introduction and explanatory text by the museum s
senior curator, Richard Slocombe."
Exploring Shell's remarkable archive of advertising art, this book
is the first to present a comprehensive overview of the company's
artistic heritage. Examinations of the historical, political and
social contexts of Shell art and advertising enable the authors to
assess the work's broader cultural significance. By delving into
the ways in which Shell's publicity was conceived, commissioned,
produced and disseminated, the particular contributions made by
artists and designers including Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland, Ben
Nicholson and Edward McKnight Kauffer, are highlighted, while
broader questions such as Shell's position within contemporary
debates regarding the aesthetics and proper purpose of 'Commercial
Art' are explored. Drawing primarily on Shell's extensive poster
collection, as well as other contemporary sources, Shell Art &
Advertising provides valuable insights into the development of
commercial art in the UK. Featuring a wealth of fascinating images,
this original publication will appeal to cultural historians, as
well as fans of Modern British Art.
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts,
film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular
cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the
Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and
invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official
art doctrine. Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur
Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different
artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each
artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they
collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark,
striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles,
dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
Classic posters from the last 300 years and the stories behind
them. Posters have always been designed to seek an immediate
response. From the time when paper was first affordable, the poster
has been used to provoke a direct reaction, whether a public
appeal, a legal threat, a call to arms, or the offer of
entertainment. Newspapers might have the advantage of ubiquity in
spreading the word, but a poster could be tightly targeted by its
location. Organized chronologically, 100 Posters That Changed the
World charts the history of poster design from their earliest forms
as a means of information communication to the more subtle visual
communication of the 21st century. As printing became cheaper,
posters were used for more than just promoting the capture of local
villains or announcing government decrees. Advertisements took
over, citing up-and-coming events, auctions, public meetings,
political rallies, sports games, lectures and theatrical
performances. The technological leaps from engraving to aquatints
to lithography, chromolithography and the offset press, all had
their impact on what could be advertised by poster, and the art
form took off spectacularly in the late 19th century with the
influence of Lautrec and the Paris nightclubs. From then on, the
poster became a sophisticated means of visual communication. In the
West it was used to sell products - in the East it was used to sell
regimes and control behaviour. Along with historic moments in
poster evolution, 100 Posters That Changed the World charts the
most impactful designs of the last 300 years - images that
communicate a message whether commercial or political, images that
sell a film, a musical, a cause or used for decoration,
inspiration, motivation and affirmation. The affirmation for
teenagers in the 1970s that Farah Fawcett was looking at you.
