Roger Broders

Roger Broders designed stylish images of the fashionable resorts of the 1920s and 1930s, which are now amongst the most avidly collected of all travel and tourism posters. Roger Broders's designs are generally greatly simplified and rely on the use of bright colours and a limited use of letters in contemporary and fashionable fonts of the time to create a strong visual impression. Most of his most famous travel posters feature elongated figures in fashionable contemporary clothing and were designed to promote glamorous Riviera resorts, including Juan-les-Pins and Villefranche.
