Describe what it is: An advertisement for the US Post.

Discuss the style of the design and typography: I would say that it is digital. I think the typography reflects the Futurists, as they started using typography in itself to make a statement.

Discuss the quality of the artwork- I think its very effective. The bottom reads,"If you really want to touch someone send them a letter." Then it shows litterally the letter reaching out and hugging this woman. Its trying to show how much more personal a letter is than say an email.

Discuss what attracted you to this piece: I really like how it was put together overall, the design and the message.

Its a wonderful life..

Describe its function- When this was being used, its purpose was to get people to want to go and see that movie.

Describe where you saw it- I was originally going to do the newer cover for the edition of its a wonderful life that i have at home, so when i went to look up a picture for it, I found this as well and found it very interesting.

Discuss the style of the design and typography- I believe that this poster is very American Kitsch (help me out on this im not quite sure).

Discuss the quality of the artwork.- I believe its very well done. The typography is playful and fits well with the happy manner in which the couple is posed.

Discuss what attracted you to this piece- I really enjoy this movie. Its one of my favorites. When I saw the original movie poster, it attracted me because its true to the time that it was made. Where as the newer movie cover looks somewhat newer. I also find it kind of humerous, when looking at this poster, you would almost think it was a comedy from the playfullness of everything, when in fact its a somewhat serious movie.
