Joseph Muller Brockman


swiss designer Joseph Muller Brockman did this dairy poster in 1959. I am truly fond of the use of diagonals in the text layout. I also enjoy the dot printing (lichtenstein/ comic style) of the image of the cow. The image is not overstated and yet it is very powerful.
Saul Bass did this movie poster for Otto Preminger in 1957.

the tiled background appeals to me as does the look of the half torn weatherbeaten figure of Joan of Arc. The centered point of interest is strange when you think of the implied upper torso that is not present it gives a subliminal balance to the viewer. I am also a fan of the warm tones which i associate with the passion of the movie's main character.
