In his factual style he created posters for Piatnik Playing Cards, listings for Böhler Steel as well as the trademark for Vienna Gascoke. In 1924 Franke co-founded the Federal Austrian Commercial Artist, and served as its vice-president. Initially in the style of the Vienna Secession, his poster designs later drew near Art Déco.
