WPA Posters: The curtain rises...

The curtain rises...

a. Response to the palette from the poster.
The colors in this poster are earthy-tones, which are safe and comfortable tones. And the Yellow color draws attention to the poster.





b. Respond to the illustration style of the poster.
The poster has simplified the theater curtains, so they are almost only a silhouette.


c. Respond to the persuasive technique of the poster.
I think that the poster wants us to go see a show that's called "the curtain rises", since it says "plays and books in the current theater". But other than that I'm not sure. It is quite obvious that someone wants us to go to a theater at least.
