Plattner's work is very broad. On the easel he painted portraits, genre paintings, landscapes and also glass paintings. He became popular, however, with book illustrations and commercial graphics, political propaganda and advertising posters, brochures and coats of arms. He designed posters and painted lanterns for the Basel carnival.
