Poster Designs For Warwood Tool Company
This is a collection of poster designs I've made for the historical Warwood Tool Company. The american family owned company exists from 1854. The whole process was like a timetravel back to the past. The goal was to make a vintage Poster look, and because I really like history and historical objects/tools. The list of the handtools are in a cronologic order, starting from the past to the present and the last one is a shirt design.
"From coal mining tools that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution to railroad and other tools used to build the US transportation infrastructure, to our famous entrenching mattock used extensively in World Wars I and II for digging fox holes and trenches, Warwood Tool has been trusted by generations of hard-working Americans. In fact, American soldiers have relied on our Warwood Tool products in every war since the Civil War. As a testament to our rich history, our manufacturing facility was recently featured on the History Channel’s documentary The Men Who Built America.
In 1854, immigrant Henry Warwood moved to Martins Ferry, OH after spending years in the Pittsburgh steel mills to found The Warwood Tool Co. He built his namesake as a coal mine and gardening tool supply company, but as the landscape of America changed, the company adapted to additionally provide tools for railway maintenance, construction, and oil & gas industries. Warwood Tool moved to Wheeling, WV in the early 1900’s where they were initially surrounded by bucolic farmland. As a town quickly sprang up around the manufacturing facility along the banks of the Ohio River, it was named Warwood in honor of the forging company. The town of Warwood still thrives to this day."
