This is a retro designed poster mimicking the International Typographic Style of the mid 50's to the mid 70's. I saw this poster on a website where the artist is selling prints of his work. The quality of his work is pretty well done, a lot of his designs that claim to be of Swiss style are somewhat off. This particular poster seems to get it pretty right. It has the flush left and ragged right font setting, abstract shapes that are asymmetrical. The font is also a sans-serif that would have been predominately used during that period. I was attracted to this piece when looking through a website called Touch of Modern. It really seemed to fit with the theme.
This is a advertising print. It was made to promote bands in San Francisco. I remembered a friend having a poster similar to this one back in high school. We used to look at it under a black light. I couldn't find the actual poster, but this is real close. With the poster being hand-drawn, I find the quality of the artwork very high quality. It is one from the psychedelic era that I don't mind. Being from the psychedelic style the typography is more of a hand-drawn style. I was mainly drawn to it through memories of this style in high school. It is very fun, playful, loud, and very trendy.
