Jan Lenica

Ben recommended this Polish graphic designer to me, and I really enjoy his poster designs.
What I like is that the visuals take a front seat, really dominating the space of the page, with the information and type coming second.


Although I think it's important for posters to inform people of the event/purpose, I think part of what makes a good poster is its ability to draw people in for a closer look.




It seems like a lot of traditional media is used, such as brush and ink and collage. The jaunty, weird and slightly-off appearance really appeals to me. Posters don't have to be boring.
