Posters are an awesome way to get across a message or simply to advertise a new product or movie. The posters in this cluster, however, are quite unlike the typical posters you see covering teenagers’ walls.
Check out the slideshow below for 48 peculiar posters, from very artistic finger-painted posters to moody movie ads.
Implications - The debate of whether or not print is a dying media form has lit the advertising, publications and design industries on fire. The heat of this debate will only die down with the complete dominance or death of the print medium; however, the most creative minds of this industry are simply looking towards more creative use of print to salvage it.
