Plakatstil Infograph (1905-1915)

This is my spread for survey 7 that explores a subject from 1905-1915. I decided to embody the Plakatstil style in my Infographic poster, focusing on propaganda and advertising. I concentrated on the main Plakatstil designers during this period and illustrated the most famous examples of their works. I then stated info about either the poster or the artist. I worked very hard on recreating the posters in just enough detail that it was accurate, however, still showing their simplicity. In regard to the title, I used the same font as the Priester poster. I struggled with the title and background colours, as I could have used more consecutive colour choices. Perhaps using a red or blue would have made some of the posters pop. 

I would give myself an 8/10 as I put a lot of thought into this spread, and I think it overall turned out well, but I wish I had chosen a different background colour.
