This is a fascinating look at the medium of the poster in the current climate of competing electronic communication. Angharad Lewis, from UK magazine 'Grafik', discusses the success and failure of the poster as a medium today, against rival mediums such as e-mail and the internet.

More than 100 posters are presented, each with an illuminating discussion of the problem, solution, background, budget and mechanical details.
