GROOVING IN THE 50'S
This 1950's pop art poster visually comes together in collage like design. The unity of this poster is clearly shown with the various 1950's items forming a strong central focus point. The way this poster is designed allows it to have a huge variety in colors, sizes, and lines. The word art around the 1950's items forms a visual border and compliments the piece perfectly. The items are layered in a way that causes some items to dominate the poster more that other items, such as the "I like Ike" pin and the shoe; also known as hierarchy. The items vary in scale; the car and poodle dress are easily noticeable due to their larger size. I find myself looking at the items in a rhythm; starting with the "I like Ike" pin and moving my eyes around the items in a clockwise motion and ending with the words that border the pictures. There is no real repetition besides maybe the checker background, which can be distracting. The proximity of the poster is well centered; overall a great piece of artwork.
