Pláták

Pláták, also known as "plakát" in Hungarian, are large, flat posters typically used for advertising, promotion, or public information. They are commonly found in urban environments, such as on walls, billboards, or public transportation. Pláták can be made from various materials, including paper, cardboard, vinyl, or fabric, and are often printed with vibrant colors and bold text to catch the eye.

The use of pláták dates back to the early 20th century, with their popularity growing in the mid-20th century as a form of mass communication. They are widely used by businesses, organizations, and governments to convey messages, such as announcements, events, or political campaigns. Pláták can be temporary, such as those used for short-term promotions, or permanent, like those found in public spaces.

In some cultures, pláták are used for artistic expression, with street artists creating large-scale murals and installations. In others, they are used for political activism, with protesters using them to raise awareness about social and political issues. Despite their various uses, pláták remain a ubiquitous and influential form of visual communication in contemporary society.
