In the early 1960s, the city responded by launching a number of campaigns that called on the talents of professional designers to attract people to and stimulate commerce in the city’s downtown. John Massey, then director of design, advertising and public relations at the Container Corporation of America, led the Cultural Communication Project, as it became known, with the aim of bringing attention to the city’s rich cultural landscape. A diverse group of designers, including Massey and fellow CCA colleagues John Rieben and William Lloyd, produced sixteen distinct posters that were to be displayed in public plazas and the lobbies of museums, businesses, airports and universities in Chicago’s Loop and elsewhere around the city. " This poster and the others that came with it are all part of what is being talked about above, there is more information about this online. Very cool piece of design history.
