Unused designs

Image showing Unused designs Not all designs end up as finished posters. Some are rejected because they fail to meet the brief, or would be too expensive to print. Others are dropped due to changes in advertising strategy or national circumstances.

The unused examples here, from three outstanding designers, show that any artist could have their work rejected, irrespective of reputation.
