Posters
The first thing to say about posters is that simplicity is
what makes them good.
Hence the quality and impact of posters has gone down since
it became possible to print photographs in polychrome. Posters have come to all
look the same, without distinction and without a clear message.
Posters should have a simple, strong image and a few words,
printed large so that they can be read from far away.
The above image is a one of the famous Soviet revolutionary
posters that were made with paper and only two colours of ink (black and red).
