Central line extensions, by Tom Eckersley, 1948
Promotion for the endless possibilities of London's public transport network.Poster to promote the expansion of the London Underground Central Line. The poster adopts Ecekersley's signature minimalist style, using bold colours and clean graphic elements. The main body of the poster features an image of a red rooster, symbolising a new dawn and beginning, with the rooster standing on a weathervane pointing in an east-west direction, suggesting that the extension of the Central Line will connect the east and west ends of London.
