  I was biting my tongue about this, thinking i was being too much of a pessimist.... but apparently i'm not the only one who thinks it a 'frivolous' exercise.

  I also don't see how a poster, in all of it's glory, truly benefits anyone. I mean, they're really banking on a couple crapshoots here: a) that all the poster submissions will be good enough to sell and b) that people will buy the posters at all

  However... I still could just be a pessimist.

  • I think the idea behind the poster and it's usefulness is a relic from graphic design's past. They're not as effective as they used to be. Posters played the role that the internet/facebook/et... now play in our society.Josev

  • I love the art of the poster, but that's just about what they are now, art.Josev
