Sachplakat means &#8220;poster style.&#8221; A form of artistry from the beginning of the 20th century that spread across Germany. His art was used in various circumstances, his most recognizable works are that of the German car brand Opel and their racing team.

He designed ads for companies like Malboro, Dubec Cigarettes and Manoli Ltd. Most of his artworks had the same distinct style. The style was not realistic but used solid colours, overlapping elements and negative spaces. Most notable was that it was simple, bold and unique. A lot of his work included people. The reason is that viewers connect more with another person than an object, mainly a person&#8217;s eyes. As you can tell in the Molsem poster, the &#8220;M&#8221; is formed in between the smoke circle from the cigarette, this shows the innovation of integration between the typography and the illustration or designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
