Well I had just signed into Blogger and was wondering what to post about when I noticed the scrolling 'Blogs of note' feed. At that exact moment was one entitled 'A Soviet Poster A Day'.
I've always been interested in the media manipulation and propaganda excreted by any government, but I find Soviet and Communist ones especially fascinating. Not only is the artwork harshly striking, often beautiful in its simplicity and angular design, but I also feel they convey an important message about a period of history in a fresh and inspiring way.
It's also a pretty good resource for modern artists trying to capture a retro style in their work. I hope you find the blog and artwork as interesting as I do :)
