Vectis Decorative and Fine Arts Society present ....

Manet, Toulouse Lautrec and inspirational work done by many artists made the world’s first effective method of mass communication a great art form.

In his lecture The Great Age of the Poster Charles Harris relates how technical innovations in printing enabled the poster to become the world's first effective method of mass communication.

From his vast experience he shares insider secrets and reveals how an effective poster is designed and how it plays on the mind, and why most posters today go unnoticed.


Charles Harris was Creative Director of global advertising agencies and has lectured extensively on design, illustration and photographic styles as they have influenced the building of brands but is now focusing on the role of posters and poster artists in the history of advertising.
