- This image is of a poster.
- It is a promotional poster promoting that people come together and work as one.
- I saw it on our field trip on Friday at the Krannert Center.
- The quality of the artwork is very detailed with the people and the features. However, with the silos to the left, they are simplified and very flat looking.
- This poster would most definitely go under the graphic style of early modern time. The typography really catches your attention with the red letter as well as the white text with the red behind it.
- I think this piece is very serious, established, bold, loud, and sort of a masculine feel.
