Week 1: Poster research

Here I've collected a few posters I think are relevant to the Ihi/Wehi exercise we did in class, I've got some observations in my workbook of more posters.

This poster doesn't necessarily have any point it's communicating but I like that it uses pastiche and subverts soldiers for fish (Ihi) conveying a humorous tone (Wehi). The fish may be metaphors for something else but I can't find any sources explicitly stating so.

The use of grid in this poster is evident and I love the use of contrast in colours, movement with the open and closed doors and the sense of pattern/repetition (ihi). It reminds me of exploring a complicated multi leveled and mysterious building or space (wehi).

I like the use of diagonal lines and figures (ihi) to portray movement and activity (wehi), and the use of the colour blue (and type)(ihi) to allude to the product (the olivetti studio 45 typewriter) (wehi).
