A 1930’s travel poster for the Great Barrier Reef, designed by Gert Sellheim.
Lockdown reality - working from home, lookin' out the window and dreaming about travelling again.
Maybe Australia wouldn’t be my first choice, would like to do trekking in Nepal, but sure - at the moment even trip to County Meath would be a delight!
In our last Visual Communication lecture, we were talking about colours in graphic design. I love how bright this graphic is. Perfect combination of colours - it brings back sweet holiday memories. Light blue can be refreshing, friendly and energizing. Yellow is often considered the brightest and most energizing of the warm colours. It’s associated with happiness and sunshine. In design, green can have a balancing and harmonizing effect and is very stable.

Poster Influence - Vintage Travel Posters
Stylistically, these travel posters were designed to advertise - perhaps even romanticise the locations we see. Creating snapshots of the landscape and the assumed activities of such locations, viewers walk away with a desire to visit and experience it for themselves
