We love honoring great print and design!
So this week we're going to honor 5 posters that helped to change the world! (Tell us which on is your favorite!!)

Poster # 5 :: We Can Do It!
‘We Can Do It!’ started life as an American wartime propaganda poster in 1943, designed to boost workers’ morale.
In the 1980s it was rediscovered and its hero, who came to be known as ‘Rosie the Riveter,’ found fame again as a symbol of feminism and political empowerment.

Poster # 4 :: Got Milk?
Many famous faces have donned a white mustache under the ‘got milk?’ banner since the posters first appeared in the nineties.
Created for the California Milk Processer Board, the milk-endorsing campaign has been credited with boosting dairy milk consumption in the California area and beyond. This 1996 image features baseball's Cal Ripken, Jr.

J.M. Flagg’s famous 1917 poster was used to recruit soldiers to fight in World War I and World War II.
The artist used his own face as a model for Uncle Sam.

Poster # 2 :: Pates Baroni
Leonetto Cappiello progressed this new fashion for posters with just a few strong elements. He turned the earlier style of artists like Jules Chéret into a bolder ad form with figures set against simple backgrounds.
While Chéret was called the father of the modern poster, Cappiello is often called the father of modern advertising. This 1921 pasta poster is one of his best known.

Poster # 1 :: Le Chat Noir
Le Chat Noir was said to be the first modern cabaret, opening its doors in Paris in 1881.
This poster was created by Art Nouveau printmaker Théophile Steinlen in 1896 to promote an upcoming tour of the cabaret’s performers.
The club closed in 1897 after the death of its owner, Rodolphe Salis.

Top 10 Packages of the 90's

Before we had the opportunity to personalize, before we could get crazy with special effects...there was some good old fashioned print and creative for packaging. To honor this ...here's a great sampling of 10 packages from the 90's

http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2015/8/5/top-10-packages-of-the-90s
