Arts poster

This poster uses a very neutral pallet. They give the poster an earthy feel though the goldish color detracts from and gives the pallet something a bit warmer.
The artist takes a very simplified approach with everything in this poster. The conductor is nothing more than a silhouette and the curtain has enough folds so the viewer can tell what it is but no more than that. I'm not sure what's in the middle area between the curtains (it looks like fire to me but I doubt that's what it's suppose to be) but whatever it is it is very simple just like the rest of this poster. This is a good example of using just as much as you need to and not anything more.

The purpose of this poster is to get people to visit the theater. Often times in a theater the viewers are too far away to make out anything more than the basic shape of the conductor which I think is why the artist chose to simply make the conductor a silhouette. The curtain is kept simple to not get the viewer too caught up in that aspect of the poster so they can focus more on the text as well as the figure.
