poster #3


I found this poster in the city of Bern on the way back from the poster museum. It was located on a cork board in one the side alleys.
This poster is most Influenced by the post modern style. All the imagery present i built up in layers that all overlap one another. It is tied together with the theme of paint swipes, but as far as colors and text is concerned it also seems to break many of the other rules.
I was first attracted to this poster because of the imagery present and how spontaneous it looks. It is not a very big poster maybe 17 inches by 8 or 9 inches, but among all the other poster hung up on the board it still caught my attention, That is the biggest give away of the success of the poster. From far away you cant read the text very well but the imagery draws you in and makes you want to take a closer look and find out what the text says and what the poster is all about.
