(Introduction) 'Posters are everywhere. They are a recognised part of our everyday surroundings, in fact you could hardly imagine everyday life without them. They announce, summon, agitate, sometimes mislead and often provoke heated discussion.

The increasing interest in this applied art form in recent years is apparent from the seriousness with which new collections are being started up, and from frequent exhibitions displaying both traditional and modern posters. Posters hold a mirror up to society. Take political posters, for example, which from their onset have provided a clearer view of history than many books.

Articles about posters are receiving increasing prominence in magazines for professional graphic design and advertising as well as in publications dedicated to art history. We are of the opinion that the phenomenon of the poster deserves its own forum in a magazine that can focus attention on important developments as they arise both nationally and internationally.

In order to be able to cover such a broad subject effectively, we have involved contributors from a wide range of disciplines. Affiche is unique - it is published in two languages and distributed internationally, with both cultural and commercial posters in the broadest sense as its arena.' Wilma Wabnitz
