About Poster Art of the Disney Parks

• Publisher: Disney Editions (October 11, 2022)
• Hardcover: 256 pages

An expanded and updated second edition of the stunning collection of posters from Disney theme parks around the world! Features more than 85 new posters and concept art pieces and a lively narrative about their behind-the-scenes development.

Disney attraction posters have been an important means of communication since Disneyland began displaying them in 1956. These eye-catching pieces of artwork adorn the parks with flair and style, and are displayed to build excitement and disseminate information about the newest additions to the Disney landscape. As evidenced by the evolution of the attraction posters, art styles and design techniques have certainly changed over the years. These characteristics also differ from continent to continent. Posters from EPCOT, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland exhibit the nuances in presentation that give each park’s pantheon of posters its signature look and story.

This expanded and updated second edition is a must-have for anyone who loves the original book, for Disney collectors, and for students of the arts. Find inside:

• An incredible collection of original attraction posters from Shanghai Disneyland
• The extensive and graphically bold collection of EPCOT posters first unveiled at D23 Expo 2019
• Posters featuring attractions and lands inspired by storytelling from Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel
• A variety of vibrant voices quoted throughout the book, with interesting insights about the development of the posters over the years and the interconnection among art, typography, and graphic design–Disney style.

REVIEW:
 
This book is a treasure for all Disney fans.  It is a huge and I mean huge, and quite a heavy book too.  which makes it the perfect coffee table book.  It is 12x14, and includes 85 posters, tells us how they were created and gives us all the super cool behind close door tidbits.
 
If you're a Disney fan, you will no doubt want this one for your collection.  I'm going to passing mine on to my niece Tiffany, who is like the biggest Disney fan I know.  She can't wait to get her hands on it and share with her little ones too.
 
I had the best time paging through the book, reading about the creative ways these posters are made.  To be honest, I've never given it much thought, I mean I see the posters, and think they're adorable, but I never once stopped to think about who the person is behind these designs, and just how they came to the finished product.
 
Thank you to TLC Book Tours and Disney Books for such a magnificent review copy.
