Poster art

An expanded and updated second edition of the stunning collection of posters from Disney theme parks around the world! Features more than 85 new posters and concept art pieces and a lively narrative about their behind-the-scenes development.

Disney attraction posters have been an important means of communication since Disneyland began displaying them in 1956. These eye-catching pieces of artwork adorn the parks with flair and style, and are displayed to build excitement and disseminate information about the newest additions to the Disney landscape. As evidenced by the evolution of the attraction posters, art styles and design techniques have certainly changed over the years. These characteristics also differ from continent to continent. Posters from EPCOT, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland exhibit the nuances in presentation that give each park's pantheon of posters its signature look and story.

Reviews for Poster Art Of The Disney Parks: Second Edition

PRAISE FOR MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS One of The 9 Best Travel Books You Should Be Gifting This Holiday Season--Forbes PRAISE FOR POSTER ART OF THE DISNEY PARKS, FIRST EDITION One of 42 Disney Gifts That Will Make Their Home The Happiest Place On Earth--BuzzFeed PRAISE FOR MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS I've been intrigued by the process of mapping Disneyland and the other parks since I first pored over the fold-out map in the August 1963 issue of The National Geographic. Years later I had the privilege of meeting Herb Ryman who mapped 'The Happiest Place on Earth' for Walt Disney before it was even built (!) and Sam McKim who created many of our treasured Disney maps. To look at a map of a Disney park is to relive visits past and dream of visits yet to be. . . This book promises to satisfy those twin emotions!--Brian Sibley, writer, broadcaster, and Disney scholar PRAISE FOR MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS There are many books out there about Walt Disney, The Walt Disney Company, and the Disney Parks, and two that are a must for any Disney fan are Maps of the Disney Parks: Charting 60 Years from California to Shanghai and Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia, 5th Edition. . . . [Maps] is a beautiful coffee table book detailing six decades of maps and how each of the Parks evolved over the years. . . . This is a perfect book for the Disney fan and Disney historian alike.--Huffington Post
