Not 50s, rather the 60s.rmoore wrote:Whoa, that's pretty drymounting awesome. Love the 50s vibe and lettering. Makes sense they chose Taylor after he nailed that Moby Dick print last year.
They are emulating the British quad design/format but utilizing the Australian exhibition logo, which makes sense being Taylor's home country. Interesting to see a hybrid of two countries' poster designs, pretty cool.
Awesome job by Ken Taylor! I think he nailed it. These will go fast.

In fairness that re-commissioned UK quad is considered a masterpiece of vintage poster art. I'm pretty sure Ken would be honored to sit in comparison to it.
Personally I think Ken's work here is absolutely outstanding. His gorgeous illustration is matched only by his wonderful layout and type design.

Ansin, Taylor and Stout are the masters of the 'classic' Mondo movie poster, imo...
By that I mean the conventional style, folks like Jay and Moss do their thing with it, create art prints etc...these 3 give us that classic montage in a 24x36 image...

The font is terrible. Would have perferred Horkey type, would have made a good fusion.
