This Week’s Word Is “Posters.”
I know I usually write about books for Word Wednesday but this week I’m diversifying a little. I’m sticking with paper, but this time just one leaf. This week’s column features wonderful National Park posters from Rob Decker. The full range can be seen at www.national-park-posters.com. GeekDad Readers can get a discount code too! Read on to find out more.
“From Acadia to Zion, the National Parks are America’s Best Idea.”
What are The National Park Posters?
Created by photographer Rob Decker, the posters are photo-realistic retro-style advertisements for America’s best idea. Decker has created a process that begins with HDR photographs, that he then digitally transforms into a work of art that evokes the WPA ( Works Progress Administration) style from the 1930s and ‘40s.
There are 73 National Park posters to choose from, all printed in the US on recycled paper using soy inks. The prints I have been sent are 13″ x 19″ and each print is numbered and signed by the artist. They cost $35 a poster. A number of other purchase options are available, including artists’ proofs and canvas prints.
