This poster was standing on the side of the road in Thun with a series of advertisements for events. I appreciated the mysterious feel of this poster that is established by the artist. The abstract use of color as well as the silhouettes and contour sketches of the figures are appealing and successful. This poster has qualities of International Style Posters. The text is flush left and clearly laid out. From a distance, it seems like the rich colors and bright text are mostly what attracts the eye, but silhouettes are usually always a curious way to catch the eye as well. Then the entire layout and design is made more concise, as the viewer moves in.
