Heinz Schulz - Neudamm
- 'Metropolis'
1927

This is a poster created for the 'Metropolis' film which was released in 1927, this cleverly designed due to the use of geometrical shapes and a sharp, piercing font for the title. I feel that this poster is very striking due to the elements of design within it, because it is set in a futuristic city the actual look of the poster gives off this feeling, with not much text there is still a lot to look at, it is interesting and makes me question what the film is actually about. 

John Gilroy - 'Guinness For Strength'
1934

This is an advertisement poster made by John Gilroy in 1934. With the clever use of perspective and product placement I feel that Gilroy was able to create a purposeful poster for his audience. There is barley any text on this poster, but it doesn't need a lot, it implies that drinking Guinness would be beneficial to you, however untrue this is people thought this product would make you stronger. I find that this poster is significant because it shows that the overall look can be relatively simple, yet effective.

J. Howard Miller - 'We Can Do It!'
1943

This is an american war time poster, created by J. Howard Miller as a form of propergander. Due to this being made in 1943 it was around the time of World War Two it is a very iconic piece or art work which has impacted thousands of people. The purpose of this poster is to boost moral while the men were are war. This has been done by the use to the bold, bright primary colours.
