Olly Moss and Saul Bass

These are both examples of posters that Olly Moss created as part of a series of advertisement posters for upcoming shows.

I think an interesting feature of these posters is that they all use the same group of colours and are all created using simple silhouette vector styles. They look like they have been printed rather than made digitally which creates an appealing effect. Removing some of the detail from the images allows the audience to use their imagination to make the posters more captivating. 

This style is very popular among other designers too for example Saul Bass who has previously made posters for films such as West Side Story and The Birds. His work often incorporates the main themes from the film to create inspiring and creative designs to appeal to the audience. I really enjoy this style of design as it is simplistic, logical and is easy on the eye. The colours used are contrasting and symbolic- the red colour represents danger whereas the white represents innocence . This could indicate that there is to be conflict involved in the plot line and it suggests that horror is the genre of the film.
