brilliant.


Portland International Film Festival by The Heads of State

An adroit combination of some my favorite things on paper--loose, loopy handwriting, isolation of everyday objects, and simple color blocks--that makes me marvel for longer than might be warranted, my eyes floating back and forth between seeing the lightbulb's coil and the textual information it's giving me. I'm pretty sure the reason this poster arrests me so is a facination with the path of taking a subject out of its context (in this case the Portland Film Festival), into an unrelated but somehow aesthetically connected one (a lightbulb), then bringing it back, smiling and cozy, into a new home, stylish, cunning, and comfortable.
