Boccaccio, Stephan Bundi

 

A short post today! 

Whilst flipping through the book 100 Ideas that Changed Graphic Design by Steven Heller, I came across this theatre poster by Swiss designer Stephan Bundi. The poster includes a white silhouette of a head against a bold, solid orange background. The striking images works with its contrast and simplicity. It is clean and simple, using space effectively. The image of the fingers bring depth in comparison to the block colours, making the horns stick out even more. Everything is tied in with the type being clean and easy to read. 

I am making this post, as the combination of photo and illustration work well together and could be something I do in the future (also reminds me of someone like Alexander Rodchenko, who I guess is cool). Visually its clean and simple, but that is a great basic to always consider.
