Monograph - Advertising Trust

This months monograph is a feature on old wall advertising. The 1900s billboards.

It is especially interesting to see examples of brands such as Hovis and Guinness. It shows the exact context, formal, scale and location of historical design and therefore allows designers to draw a comparison.

Perhaps, in reflection from these examples, I could consider my typography prints as appropriated pieces of advertising. Their context and audience affecting their choice as type.

However this seems too much to be an exhibition about advertising, and not typography. A mid-point could be typefaces that have synonymous links to specific demographics.

Something to think about...
