Cory, I found this poster in a Swiss Graphic Design book and thought it might be helpful to you for your poster redo project. The designer is Hermann Eidenbenz and the caption in the book states:

The single repeated figure, increasing in size, suggests events taking place in time and space. The circular silhouettes illustrate a rotary press and the process of printing. The cut-out photographs of the newspaper boy make the link to the final outcome of the process - the newspaper or magazine on the street.

The variety of effect with only a two colour litho print is typical of Swiss design before the widespread use of coulour nearly three decades later.

Hope this helps!
