Good Design Thursdays - Entry #59
As the saying goes...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The more famous and well-known something is, the more likely it is it will be imitated, either consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes the connection is obvious and sometimes not so much. The connection between the Deadpool poster and the Norman Rockwell painting is clearly obvious. The connection between the Toys poster and Magritte's "Bowler Man" painting is not as obvious, but is still implied. Least obvious is the connection between the last two images, however the design of Paul Ballard's Star Wars print is very reminiscent of the style of painting Gustav Klimt used for his images.
