advertising posters
Commercial wall art
Advertising posters are large printed notices designed to promote products, services, events, or ideas in public spaces.
They combine text and imagery to catch attention quickly—on billboards, in subway stations, on construction site walls.
The format dates to the nineteenth century but remains central to outdoor advertising: The city banned advertising posters on historic buildings.
