20th Century Advertising Posters
Marketing and advertising is ever-present in today's society, engulfing your view wherever you look. Even though most of us spend the day hunched over with our phones in our hands, we are even more influenced by advertising than ever before. With the competitive ad-agency culture of today, striving to develop the most memorable campaign or the most obscure TV ad, the visual appeal that early 20th-century posters had has sadly been lost along the way. A certain quality and innocence now makes us regard those images, when taking them out of the marketing context, as art in their own right. Even though often produced in times of hardship - we can still observe them with a certain fondness.
