colony. Signwriting An Art.

-

At the monthly meeting of the Western Australian Institute of Advertisting. Mr. A. H. Abbott, of Abbott and Rich, delivered an address on posters. Signwriting, remarked Mr. Abbott, was by no means a modern art. Examples of its extensive use could be traced back to the ancient cities of China, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. After referring to the difference between signwrit ing, which_to-day was essentially the lettering of windows, office signs, etc., and the work of a poster artist, who WAS more concerned with design and atten- tion value, Mr. Abbott proceeded to demonstrate by a series of miniature posters, the elements of effective poster design. A general discussion followed.
