Designers Take on COVID-19 in NYC: A Poster House + PRINT Project
As we’ve written before, for designers or anyone working within the creative industry, it’s easy to feel helpless in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. But we’re not. And in fact, we’re anything but.

Finally, a Poster Museum in Manhattan
Get ready: There’s a poster museum coming to New York City. Poster House has been in the works for some time, and the time is ripe.
