Contemporary poster design



Sean Bate 






I decided to look at Sean Bate for inspiration regarding contemporary poster design, as it fit the criteria for the Oripeau project. His work often combines text with images, yet they are always harmonised together in one form; e.g. the third poster uses an image for the fill of the text. I'm really interested in this approach as I think it challenges the idea of leaving negative space for the ease of the viewer; in this case, some of the posters require more time to look at, which in the context of the Oripeau project, would work quite nicely due to the street location of the posters. Bate's work also creates a dramatic effect, and crowds quite a lot on a page, which gives little rest for the eye; this chaotic atmosphere might work well for the effect I want to convey in my images of war, as I want my posters to engage an audience.
