National Civil War Museum Posters

The National Civil War Museum is a nonprofit educational institution with a collection of 24,000 artifacts. In 2021 the museum is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding. The four marketing posters are intended to drive viewers to visit the museum, and to visit NCWM’s new website. The marketing posters utilize authentic Civil War portraits and color overlays to create an eye catching design. A texture overlay is also placed over the images, and the colors are matched, to create the illusion that they are a set of images. This is combined with the marketing phrase “Reflecting our past, lessons for our future.” The goal being to encourage a viewer to contemplate what choices they would’ve made if they were alive during the Civil War era.
