Poster printing has changed throughout the years with the advent of more mechanized techniques. In the early days, posters were hand printed and were primarily used to announce upcoming events, to advertize a product or to educate the public on the news of the day. Today we view posters as both an advertizing medium and as a work of art. The change towards viewing posters as a work of art was helped immensely by the striking posters of the Moulin Rouge created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the late 19th century.

The Melbourne International Arts Festival will take place from October 6-22 at a variety of venues. The festival has become a key destination festival for the area. It features theatre, dance, music, opera, visual art and film. Those who work in the printing services in nearby Box Hill South will most likely be interested in several of the photography exhibits that will be featured as a way to see what is current in the art.
