Hanns Lohrer worked as a commercial graphic designer for Porsche in the 1950s and 60s. The Porsche museum in Germany held an exhibit of his works in 2012, noting that a highlight of the collection is a "series of posters designed by Hanns Lohrer in 1961 depicting the Porsche 356 in the context of sports such as golfing, hunting or horse riding. Typical of Porsche's prestigious advertising during that era, the bold colours of the sports equipment dominated the sports car which was shown in small scale." Not in Porsche.
