The recent campaign for the NYC Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting follows a [vintage-inspired style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic) that ties in well with stopping modern piracy. The entire concept of purchasing entertainment may seem old fashioned to some, which may be why these [PSA posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated) pull from a [retro-revival theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-40th-anniversary).

Though the message in this campaign is an important one, the true star of the show is the art direction. The impeccably composed prints are automatically eye-catching, creating a lasting image in a viewer's mind. Whether or not the NYC Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting campaign will do what it has set out to is up for debate.
