V&A, 12th-13th June, 1998
The effectiveness of the poster as a publicity medium and the pervasiveness of the poster image were examined in the context of developments in 20th century graphic communication.
The conference examined the history of the poster from the ‘artistic’ posters of the late 19th century, to the large-scale billboard campaigns of the modern day, which are an inescapable feature of the modern landscape.
Margaret Timmers edited a great text “The Power of the Poster” to accompany the conference and exhibition.
