MOVIE POSTERS AND POST MODERNISM The post modern movement took place between 1978 and the current day Movie posters of the 1970’s mostly continued in the style of the 1960s. Posters were simple with illustrated images‚ full length shots of the main actors (in an action film it would be images of the main actors escaping a dangerous situation)‚ a title and a short tag line.

Unlike other Hokies‚ I did not tour Virginia Tech before applying. In fact‚ I didn’t even know where Virginia Tech was before I started applying for colleges 2 years ago.

Two years later‚ I will write these postcards for our new accepted Hokies myself. I also have done community service related activities every semester
