Now the project is simple, take an image of a building or “thing” we all love and turn it into the style of poster which was popular in the middle decades of the last century.*
Peter and I have been creating such advertising pieces of art for a while.
I source the original image and offer the caption and Peter does the rest.
So here is our take on a series of posters which could have been commissioned by the Eltham Tourist Board celebrating where we live.
Follow the link Posters from the Past, and you can find others from the Friends of Woolwich, the Thames Foot Tunnels Appreciation Society, and Retired Eltham Librarians.
And a thank you to Jean and Richard Low who one day back in 2012 drove around Eltham taking pictures for the blog, one of which Peter used for our poster.
