Posters As Design Time Capsules

Event posters are more than decoration, they’re pieces of graphic design history and take snapshots of the design styles of the time. From the painterly expressiveness of Roland Garros (aka the French Open) to the glitz and glamor of the Monaco Grand Prix, the abstraction of the Olympics, and the host city-driven identity of FIFA World Cups, each series ris a mirror to the culture of the time. Over the decades, styles have shifted from hand-drawn elegance to minimalist geometry, Photoshop collages, and now the eclectic remix of the 2020s.
