It's quicker by rail,

These posters symbolise rail travel for the1950s, when travel became popular to everyone because it was affordable and such a quicker way of travelling. If you were living in city you could escape to the country or the seaside within a few hours even if just for the weekend.


 What I love about these posters is that even though each is done by a different artist they all follow the same style whether they're print or painted. I feel like it's something to do with the line of font along the bottom, even though each of these don't always say 'It's quicker by rail' but since they're still advertising a certain city, then with the symbol for the particular train line, likes them to rail travel. Growing up in south Devon myself I'm mostly taken with the posters advertising somewhere along the coast but that's just me, I love seeing the familiar sights showing that these coastlines haven't changed in the past. 


However I don't want to design poster advertising the same places, I instead want to try and use the style of these posters with the font, the sayings and attach them to my own prints advertising Disney World, in Orlando, Florida. Where I coincidently spent the summer working on Main Street U.S.A in the heart of it all, Magic Kingdom. I just think it could be interesting to try and design some prints of the classic sights of Disney World, but some how make them look like they were done in the 1950s. Of which of course there aren't any because Disney World was built in 1971!
