Design Poster

The design of this poster is absolutely wonderful. It contains many different formations which make this poster one of a kind. First of all, I really admire the hanging letters, because it gives a more creative look rather than the normal straight letters; it's a great improvement to the original look. Also, it has sort of a 3D look, which causes the poster to kind of jump out at the viewer. This creates a more realistic look. Lastly, the poster contains some bold colors, which make the poster really come together. Usually posters and most book covers contain all neutral colors, because books normally do not look good with a bright cover. With this poster, the illustrator pulled the risky colors off, very well. “Techniques borrowed from the nineteenth-century poster-artists gradually infiltrated the book industry, as did the professional practice of graphic design. The book cover became more than just a protection for the pages, taking on the function of advertising, and communicating information about the text inside”. Altogether, this poster is quite clever, and it is overall a brilliant design.
