Reading Responce:

1. What ideas do you think each of these writers present about the role and function of the poster image?
2. What do you think are the other key ideas that both writers present in their essays about image making?

I think the both readings by Danny Butt and Jon Bywater are intersting on how to make a poster and what is important such as... "Don't stick it up in your dining room or in your study, Don't misplace it.
Don't collect it, Don't archive it, Don't keep it in your library. Don't give it away.
Post iton the walls of the city".
