IT S THE GREAT POSTER,

CHARLIE BROWN!

As a graphic design student, you cannot hope

to avoid it, nor do you want to

:

the poster

assignment. When I was majoring in graphic

design at Penn State University back in the

early 1980s, we got this one in our junior year.

But the instructors were very clever and put

this mandate on it

:

Create a poster that, upon

looking at it, makes the viewer either want to

start doing something, or stop doing something.

Wow. That really made me think, because I

hadn t considered before that of course that

is what a poster is supposed to do. It s not

just decorative, it should really make you

feel something.

When putting this collection together I

asked myself

:

what Peanuts

images would fans

want up on their walls, so they can see them

every day? The answer is in your hands.

And so, if you re a Peanuts

fan

(

and of

course you are!

)

, I m hoping these posters might

urge you to

:

STOP

:

Frowning, lamenting, regretting,

despairing, and feeling blue. More important . . .

START

:

Smiling, laughing, remembering,

grinning, geeking-out, sharing. And rejoicing at

the genius of Charles M. Schulz.
