Helveticamediuma.com has a growing range of colourful and informative posters for Visual Communication Design, Art, Studio Arts, Media.

Each poster is designed with two aims. The first is that they are 100% VCAA VCE compliant to support your students learning towards their exams. Secondly they are designed to communicate visually. The images are not decoration but symbols that serve to explain concepts that normally take slabs of text for students to understand. Clear and concise, these posters are a great references for your walls.
