Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Israeli government has commissioned graphic artists to design posters for Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence Day).
This is a poster designed in 1959 by Miriam Levinger, a student of the Bezalel Art College, for Israel’s eleventh Independence Day.

Two buildings in the shape of the number 11 are at the center of the design. The buildings are surrounded by scaffolding, showing that they are still in the process of construction. These modern buildings emerge from a depiction of traditional buildings in the style of the Old City of Jerusalem. The design represents the development of the young State of Israel into a modern and dynamic country.
