It Shows him as a man isolated away from everything, that is full with confidence by his stance and someone that is ready to take on the world.

This shoe ad uses a famous beautiful person Vanessa Hudgens

This also uses the example of a beautiful woman but added a child as well. But this time to grab the audience attention. The beauty is showing sadness it lets you want to fix the problem as to why this woman and child are unhappy. For one it is not normal for beautiful people to be unhappy.

Japanese Tattoo


By: Milton Glaser

I love this poster. It really brings to life the story of how Japanese criminals
are tattooed all over their bodies. The fact that Milton did not place the people in the image in any color other than their tattoos show that they are identified and label with the markings on their bodies. Milton Glaser has a major impact on contemporary illustration and design. I did not Know that he was the creator of those I (heart) NY logos that I seem to see everywhere out side of New York.

Contratto 1922

By: Leonetto Cappiello
He is known as the father of modern advertising. He uses bold images on top of black or colored back ground. He is known for not following behind many artist of his time.
I find this design to be compelling in a way that it seems to have no regards to gravity the center images is just there hovering away not evening complying to time it self. It has a sense of control.

By: Jules Cheret
Fete des Fleurs

This peace has depth and a sense of mystery. I really like this peace. The woman in the four front seem to have a sense of importance.
By: Jules Cheret
1889

This peace has a lot of weight with the women on the horse.
Also it seems to carry out a very vivid picture of what to expect out of the show. This peace also makes your eyes focus on the woman first then your eyes seems to follow everything else in order from large to small images..

In Tarzan and the Amazon poster the artist used depth and motion to indicate the tension within the movie along with the difference between the two.

Saul Bass uses motion, color, and weight to express the tension and suspense. The poster also seems heavy and loses it's self with depth.

Post-modern

The poster for Coming to America use color and contrast to create the depth. It shows Eddie Murphy social status as a Prince.

This Milennium

The artists use contrast to show the tension and darkness of the movie the Will Smith faces. Depth also separates him for the world and single him out as the only man left on earth.
