Graphics at speed
This weekend is one of the highlights of any motorsport fan’s calendar; the Le Mans 24 hour race.
Many of these great motorsport events have, through the years, been publisised with some fantastic poster art. In the pre-internet days, every French town and village would have had these posters up. They have become beautiful displays of speed through a static image. Here’s some examples to see how trends have changed throughout the years.
1960’s: Some great brush work:
1970’s: Photographic, minimal and cool:
1980’s: Back to graphic and moody:
Modern day: The Photoshop generation.
