We’ve just finished the theme for this year’s charity auction Swing into Auction. This years theme was the 1940 and since the event was being held at the Wigram Air Force Museum we decided to look at old war posters for inspiration. The printing techniques ued in the 1940’s was quite different to how we generally see posters printed today, however because of this they have a very unique feel and often use blocks of flat colour rather than the shadow edges blurring or bleeding into one another.

The final poster really picks up on this style and uses it in a modern way deliberately trying to reference the 1940’s posters but yet staying clearly in 2010. This theme was then carried out over all the events stationary.
