With my chosen advertising media being Posters I decided to find posters that inspire me, suitable for my demographic in a style that is either in past or present fashion. When searching the library for a book that suited my needs I came across a book documenting posters of the  60's.  A common theme of the posters is that they're forms are raw, they have been created by hand, they don't have the same generic computer generated images of perfection that we are used to today. The 'human imperfections of the designs are what make them so aesthetically pleasing. 

I like this poster because of it's simple use of colours, the range of hand drawn type and the media used to create the design. A biro has been used to create the majority of the image, it's unusual almost unheard of to see a poster made almost entirely from biro pen.

This image was created by Wes Wilson  in 1967. I particularly like the way the text appears to flow with that of the images hair. The image could be interpreted (for my purposes) as the illustrations thoughts appearing in the form of text from the back of her head. The only flaw in this design and others similar to this is that the text is almost unreadable, at least it takes a while to decipher. My understanding of a poster is that it must be easy to read in passing; this is something I shall take into consideration when designing my own posters.
