Objective: Identify 3 poster designers, only one of them may be from the U.S.A. and the other two must be from outside the U.S.A. At least one poster designer must be from outside of North America and South America.

Provide 3 examples of each poster designer's work to show in class on Thursday Oct. 19 in preparation for your own presentation on Tuesday Oct. 24.

  2. a description of each poster in your own words, including how it was made, the concept/message, and any inspiration the designer actually used
  3. in your own words, explain what art and/or design history movement(s) or work(s) are similar in look and feel to each poster design
  4. state why each of the posters works based on your own assessment of the design and message
