Request: Soviet Style Images

regeneration

Hey chaps,
I am looking for some good, quality images of those old Soviet Russia propaganda posters from times past, or anything equivalent.
You know the type; bold, stylised people striking poses against lots of industrial backgrounds etc. It's a much replicated style these days (I believe there was a recent Tesco clothes advert on TV that did it). All terrbily Art Deco-ish.

Also, the name of the fonts used in those old posters would be fab too


Cheers in advance

images.google.ie churns up a fair few..is there anything more particular that you have in mind? Computer Arts or some silly mag had tutorials on recreating these previously..

I don't mean to veer of topic too much, but may I ask why you think computer arts is a silly mag. Just out of curiosity.

That will do for a start Thanks, as you say, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but I'll work on it all the same. Will check out Computer Arts too
