The same fellow had a huge collection of travel related graphics from the 1920s and 1930s. Amazing.

And from a link from that site I noticed this poster for a shooting festival in 1963

(the site is one huge collection of posters from all over the place - well worth a look if you graphics junkies haven't already been there)

probably buying those

second from left does not look like a stable system, by the way

― caek, Thursday, 19 November 2009 15:01 (fourteen years ago) link

bottom left and bottom right don't really fit with the others in terms of style. would happily get any of the others, but $40/60 is ridic imo. i know they're doing this in the most inneficient and expensive way possible, and passing on the cost, this is what i consider reasonable: http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/posters.

Heh, I did something similar on a recent flyer for our club night:

Inspired by the 'salon auto geneve' poster up the thread.

― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 19 November 2009 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link

i started a new project the other week - a catalog that's all 60's/70's pop art style. fucking fun as hell (alot of work tho).

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Thursday, 19 November 2009 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Admittedly my poster is compromised because it needed to have "impact" and too many words.
