I like this poster because of it's simple use of colours, the range of hand drawn type and the media used to create the design. A biro has been used to create the majority of the image, it's unusual almost unheard of to see a poster made almost entirely from biro pen.
This image was created by Wes Wilson in 1967. I particularly like the way the text appears to flow with that of the images hair. The image could be interpreted (for my purposes) as the illustrations thoughts appearing in the form of text from the back of her head. The only flaw in this design and others similar to this is that the text is almost unreadable, at least it takes a while to decipher. My understanding of a poster is that it must be easy to read in passing; this is something I shall take into consideration when designing my own posters.

I really like the pink poster.
