Coca Cola Poster Design

As part of my research I decided to look at posters for coca cola advertising throughout the years. Coca Cola is one of the biggest brand names in the world and one thing i think they do really well is there graphic design. The coca cola logo is a classic and recognised by everyone. Coca Cola know this and have developed there posters and advertising campaigns around this. I really like the simple approach in the Designs and the colours used. As a user they attract me and i find them fun.

A few examples are shown below.






I think these are great examples of timeless graphic design
