Post #1: Endless Summer



This image is a movie poster and dvd jacket insert for the movie Endless Summer produced in 1966. The image served as a means of advertising for the film release but has also been somewhat of a hit in the 90's-present. I've seen it many times over again, but I most recently saw it in a Hollister clothing store on the dvd cover. The style of the design is rather psychedelic with the color choices but also rather uncluttered compared to many of the same era. The figures are represented in a rather destructed manner, but thats part of the charm of it. The typography is a very clean chunky font, it is very weight heavy on the image but it works. The work displays a great amount of thought, especially when your trying to encompass an entire movie in one image. I was first attracted to the piece because of the loud, bold coloring. I also love the overall composition and layout to the image. there is no way to look at the image and not instantly feel the warmth of summer.
