Description
Summary:Lucerne, Switzerland's poster town, has a vibrant graphic design scene, which in recent years has become known for its sophisticated posters well beyond the country's borders. Professional colleagues are in awe of how a relatively small city can produce so many well-designed posters. Lucerne posters can be found in many exhibitions. To give one example. In 2015 alone, twenty-six of the hundred best posters from Germany, Austria and Switzerland came from Lucerne and the surrounding area. In other words, more than a quarter of all the award winning works. What's behind this? Is it coincidence or a preponderance of designers of above-average talent in a comparatively small area? The book Poster Town tracks this phenomenon with a wealth of images and texts and creates a record of Lucerne's poster designs for posterity.
