National Theatre Posters: A Design History / Available at www.draw-down.com / Written and compiled by design writer #RickPoynor — A comprehensive survey of the London theatre’s best posters from the 1960s to the present day. For more than 50 years, the #NationalTheatre has used #posters to promote and give visual expression to the enormous range of productions that it stages. While other major British #artsorganizations also utilize posters, it would be hard to find in-house relationships with #designers as continuous and stable as those seen at the theatre. An enormous range of graphic approaches has been used — #typographic #illustrative and #photographic. This diversity of expression reflects the designers’ temperaments and skills, the fashions of the time and changing conceptions of the most effective way to communicate graphically with the theatre’s audiences.
