City Lights

What a cute poster. I have not seen this but the poster makes me want to go find it watch it and hang this poster on my wall. It is well designed, fun and happy! The colors like the breakfast at tiffany’s poster are primary, but work really well. The font is very indicative of the time period and suited to the film. This poster also uses the rule of thirds, just as the last one did. Bu this one uses it horizontally and in opposite. The words for this one are in the smaller third. But because of their size, it works. One of the nice things about the word City Lights is that they extended the Y and G off the page. It is always nice to break barriers. The silhouette image of Charlie Chaplin mimics the black behind the words and ties it together. The image has a ton of leading lines. The lines the buildings create down the middle, the lines from the lights. The lines lead into the city and then the lines that create the vertical buildings lead your eye to the words. Leading lines are beautiful! Especially when they are implied! There are not many of those in this little masterpiece but the lines are nice nonetheless. Again don’t know much about the movie, but it its Charlie Chaplin, so it’s probably pretty awesome J
