Top 5 Most Popular City Posters

From the wall of one's room to the windows of shops in crowded streets, posters have become an integral part of our lives. We use them to communicate with the rest of the world. Sellers use them to let people know about their products. Kids use them as a source of staying close to their imaginary friends. Rebellious teenagers use them to show that they're different. Other people use them simply to decorate their walls.

What is special about these posters (the ones in people's rooms) is the fact that they are a reflection of the person's personality. They tell you a lot about the qualities, tastes, ambitions and aspirations of the person.
Poster subjects may range from cuddly animals to film stars, cartoons to quotations, rock stars to wrestlers, and so on. One particular subject, slightly less common, is cities; posters that showcase cities and their citizens. They may be landmarks, skylines, or just a simple thought about the city.

First and foremost without a doubt is the Big Apple - New York City! The citizens of New York love their city so much that posters which say 'I (Heart) New York' along with the words the image of the Statue of Liberty is among the top 5 city posters. Even though the statue was actually a gift, it is now a symbol which represents the city and is indicative of New York throughout the world.

Next there is the city of love: Paris. The first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Standing tall, it is not merely a landmark but an iconic symbol of the city. There are other symbols of course which are used to represent Paris, like cheese, perfume and the Paris Fashion Week, but they are not something one would necessarily like to put up on their walls.

Number three is the city of London with Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. The Royal guards standing in front of the palace seem as real as the wax models at Madame Tussauds, on the posters as well as in real life. One may wonder, if they don't move no matter what you do, they're not too much of a 'guard' are they? However, posters which incorporate these three iconic symbols of London are loved by tourists.

Another very popular landmark, which represents a city more than the building itself, is the Sydney Opera House, which puts Sydney in the top five of the top 5 city posters.

Last but not least, we have the city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Posters which have the infamous bridge are not merely wall hangings. They in fact are a representation of the pride that many Americans symbolised with all things great in America, the gate to all things Golden.

Nowadays colour poster printing is very affordable and you can get your own posters printed sitting in the comfort of your home. So it doesn't matter if your city isn't in this top five list. It is more important that it is on your personal top list and on your wall!
