This is one of my favourite poster of Captain America and the Collider team fighting towards Europe and the Pacific for their freedom. This poster isn't really a poster but its like a movie poster of Captain America. What I like about this poster is that they're using one of America's hero, 'Captain America'
on the poster fighting for his country.













This is one of the posters that appeared in 1940, urging men to enlist for overseas service. What I like about this is the look of the image because the guy looks strong and confident.  I also like how the artist used two colours, with the red outline and text, "there's a MAN'S job to be done."  I also like how the  writing is bold and thick.
This is a poster asking if you believe in Jesus.  Personally, by believing in Jesus, this means that everything is going to be fine.  I like this poster because it's true.  The message is relevant for all who are suffering, sick and for those who need help.  This poster was inspired by the poster of "Keep calm and carry on" which was the original poster from World War II.


If these posters were used today it wouldn't  make sense because it would be more appropriate to use internet, radio and television than posters. What would make me join the war, would be money so that I won't be leaving my family with nothing.

                    History of Printmaking 





When i think of the word printmaking is like a machine that people uses to print out there images and messages but as i was searching and i found that printmaking is duplication of images by mean of stamp in very early times. The use of round cylinder seals for rolling an impress onto clay tablets for example.

As you can see this printing is an earliest woodblock printed fragments from China and are of silk printed with flowers in three colours from the Han Dynasty.












Heading: La Goulue
Year: 1798


This printing Lithography is a technique invented in 1798 by Alois Senefelderand based on the chemical repulsion of oil and water. A porous surface, normally limestone, is used, the image is drawn on the limestone with a greasy medium.

Title: Portrait of Vincent van Gogh
Size: Unknown

This is a portrait of Vincent van Gogh by Anatol Knotek made out of handwriting. He uses marker on canvas to write his poetry. I like his idea of writing texts in mostly famous people and famous artists faces and how he makes the text denser in area requiring darker shades. but what i don't like is that the letters are too small and its really hard to read it..Anatol create this art work of Van Gogh its because Van Gogh was his hero, he likes his paintings and his letters.  




this is a written portrait of Anatols favourite peot ernst jandl from a serious "written pictures" its a nice art work but again i can't really read the letters because its tiny and a lot of scribbling on it.
