Lately I’ve been looking at vintage and contemporary posters, illustrations and advertisements for inspiration, in particular at the bold, complementary color palettes used during that period.

Hate to be the voice of dissent but some of these are not really posters as they convey no information. For example: the last two.
Where did the vintage sneaker poster come from? I’d like to contact the designer.
