Signalnoise Retro Poster Competition: Submissions

Well, it’s been a good month and a bit watching the submissions pour in for the Signalnoise Retro Poster Competition, and I’m really happy to post them all right here. Please be warned, this post is the longest that has appeared on my blog, so you might need to give it a little bit to load, as there are 131 entries. The response has been incredible.

I kept the competition description simplistic for a very good reason. When I create my personal posters I start off with the idea of creating something referencing the past, and develop my idea from there. I wanted those interested in entering to work the exact same way I do, and to create some new pieces they can be proud of. As a result, just look at the diversity of the posters below. Their styles, content and palettes are all over the map which in my opinion, makes this competition a huge success. Thanks so much to everyone who took part, a huge high-five to you all.

The entries shown here all met the guidelines of the original post. If you do not see your entry here, it might not have been labeled properly in the Signalnoise Flickr Pool. Please contact me if I missed you, and send me the link to your entry.

Have fun scrolling through these colorful posters, and I urge you to drop by the Signalnoise Flickr Pool if you want to see more by any of the artists. I’ll be going through all the submissions over the next few days and will post the winners by the end of the week. Stay tuned!

    Great collection, too bad I couldn’t join in. Anyways, there’s three I really like a lot: #106, #32 and #23. Good luck everyone who participated!

    Also, greet your coffee-retailer James, you’ll be visiting him a lot when you have to go through all these!

    Not many original pieces, what a shame most are just taken from one of your designs or others. Can’t see any classic miller bro style guess this sums up the crowd here. Interested to see who you pick.
