A really good article on poster design that is also a brilliant example of content marketing
Qode Interactive is a reseller of Wordpress themes. They curate themes for designers, creatives and fashionistas. Their motto is "We Bring Beauty to Wordpress". One of their primary marketing efforts is an online magazine, Qode Magazine. This article in a recent issue is a case study of brilliant content marketing. It presents a simple summary of graphic design trends (Swiss Style, Psychedelic Style, 80s Design, 90s Design) seen through the lens of those trends as posters. It then links the trend to themes that they are re-selling.
"In this article, we’re going to explore the connection between poster and web design. The two are inextricably linked and share the same key function, which is to communicate with viewers through visuals. Both have been heavily influenced by the technological advances that continue to shape and change our world, but also by art in general. As a result, we’ve seen the birth of many different design styles that artists have experimented with and applied to their works."
