Happy birthday to Tomoko Miho, the queen of architectural posters! 🏙️

Upon awarding her the 1993 AIGA Medal, Veronique Vienne of AIGA Design called Miho “the design world’s best-kept secret.” Known for her modern, minimalist work, Miho designed everything from posters to packaging for clients such as Neiman Marcus and Herman Miller. Today would have been her 95th birthday. 

This is one of four posters Miho made for a series titled “Aspects of New York.” Can you believe she designed this in 1968?

Ah yes, back when we consumed news consensually…simpler times. 😮‍💨

In our latest article on The Blog, B A Van Sise writes about the history of newspaper advertising, from Soviet propaganda to British tabloids. In an age when fewer and fewer people are consuming news in print, it’s easy to forget how newspapers once competed for our attention—and how they convinced us to pick up a particular paper in the first place.

Oh man, this one hurts. 🩷🦋

R.I.P. Dolly Parton, who passed away at 80 years old today. Credit to America's auction house for this stunning vintage poster advertising Dolly’s 1977 performance at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. She was on tour for her 18th (EIGHTEENTH!) solo studio album, New Harvest...First Gathering, which was the first she self-produced.

Try and spread a little extra sparkle today. It’s what Dolly would want. ✨

NYC! We’re hosting an exclusive live event at Poster House NYC with KOTA The Friend, and we’re giving away 10 free tickets! 🚨🗽

In celebration of the final days of Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen, Sing for Science is teaming up with Poster House for an intimate, live conversation on Black creative sovereignty and authentic personal storytelling.

Brooklyn-based rapper/producer Kota the Friend will sit down with Brown University professor and author Kevin Quashie (Black Aliveness, The Sovereignty of Quiet). Using Kota’s track “For Colored Boys” as a focal point, we’ll explore themes of fatherhood, community, self-expression, and the contrast between intimate personal narrative and historical representation.
