UK wartime posters

Common themes in wartime posters are... (which I can take forward and use in designs)

  • thin border
  • capitol letters
  • red, yellow, blue, cream and black
  • type and image
  • short sentences, but on a large scale
  • action based 'do this'
  • handcrafted
  • faded
  • 2 messages
  • sans serif
  • serious
  • limited messaging
  • quickly understandable
  • not scary
