Impetigol
1938
Francis Prompt's 1938 advertisement for Impetigol ointment is a masterclass in bold, graphic design. The bright yellow tube slices diagonally across the canvas, resting on a striking split background of crumpled blue-grey and orange textures that represent its key ingredients, iodine and copper. This clever visual strategy literally shows the consumer what's inside the tube while capturing the dynamic, modernist energy of pre-war French commercial art. It's a perfect example of how everyday products were elevated into eye-catching visual statements during the golden age of poster design.
