The first to Images are from the Sachplakat/Plakatstil. The following three images are from a hertz poster campaign that is hung in airports car rentals. These posters kind of reminded me of a combination between there match advertisement poster and the hyperreal tooth paste advertisement. These posters use the block coloring of the match box poster, but is still somewhat realistic. I think the content is extremely similar in the way that these posters show cars and airplanes which is exactly what they are advertising. The same way that the Sachplakat/Plakatstil always showed the product they were advertising in the poster which wasn't always the norm at the time, so that influence is still being used as seen in the hertz posters.

The first image is a poster by henri toulouse lautrec it uses a layering technique that is still seen today. The second image is a book cover and it reminded me of this layering technique. The images uses blocks of color to create depth and space the same way Lautrecs posters created depth and space in his posters. He was the first to really push the way space worked in a image by putting a figure in the very front of the fore ground the way the figure is in the book cover.  The third images is a logo for an open mic night in the   Boise community. It uses the same layering technique as Lautrec. It also reminds me of Lautrec's work in its rough style and use of warm colors the way Lautrec's posters tended to have a warmer color scheme. 

The first post is one done by the Beggarstaffs and the second is one by Ludwig Hohlwein. The third is is an advertisement for the annual pig jig music festival in Tampa. The fourth is a poster for an art  exhibition titled "Rebel Machines".  All of the posters use the blocks of color that made the posters done by the Beggarstaffs so different and groundbreaking for the time. The third and fourth posters use the very modern graphic look of flat colors and hard edges that Hohlwein uses in many of his posters. He and the   Beggarstaffs were the first to use this modern style of block colors and although these styles were not popular at the time due to the fact that the art novae style poster style was popular and much more ornate, now this style is very popular in poster design as it gives the posters a modern and edgy look. The main difference I see between the new and older posters is the newer once had a very vibrant color scheme. 

A poster designed by Will Bradley  The first image, which is a mural in downtown st.pete, uses similar curved lines and organic shapes running into one another as seen in Bradleys poster. This use of lines is seen through out art nouveau posters. The use of two colors in the mural is also a trait that I saw in a lot of the posters made by Bradley.  The connection I see in the second poster, which is a advertising poster for SMUIN a ballet show, is most conceptional. The use of a female character in the center of the poster is used in many of the art nuvoue posters first by Jules Cheret then later by Bradley an dis a huge connection between the modern ballet poster and Bradley's. The use of a repeated figure is also similar to what Bradley did in his poster. 

William Morris The first image is from the art and crafts movement by William Morris.  The first a mural from the inside of the local restaurant the green Lemon uses the same flora  image as Morris's piece. It gives the use of nature a more graphic look but the use of symmetry and use of nature as a motif are used in both pieace to create a whimsical look that was common in the arts and crafts movement. The second piece is an illustration from Soojin Buzelli's Magazine. The use of soft colors and very organic shapes is also very similar to the arts and crafts movement. Buzelli's piece is indicative of traditional artwork which is what the arts and crafts moment was trying to go back to following the industrial revolution which links the two pieces in visual appearance.
