Ran across a great site with a ton of these old posters. I love the hand drawn fonts. I also love that idea that since everything was so difficult to do, they seemed to do everything with more care. In our 30 layer photoshop, 4,000 fonts, emailed PDF world, we tend to over cook things. Also consider that these posts were extremely expensive and took weeks to make. When the stakes are that high, your much more likely to take care picking your design firm and trusting their expertise. I think today’s innovation opens design up to some folks that should leave those adobe apps to the pros.
