This design became a new moment for public theater. These posters are filled with words, it is urban, aggressive, and crazy, just like New York. Her works are powerful and influential, it became the standard in two to three years. What’s even more amazing about Paula Scher is that after the paradigm shift she keeps exploring a new style of design.

The way she used different widths to make different groups of people feel identify made me enjoy this one the best.

This shows Paula development of her radical shifts and rewording of her designs.

This was Paula’s expressive lettering designs for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I like how she made the different types of A’s to represent Art. It’s kinda like changing it to a different art piece every time, or different type of Art.
