A lot of Olly Moss' posters are in a similar style to this piece and I really like it. The Evil Dead is about zombies and so the hand emerging from the ground captivates this idea. I love how there are two images in this piece, the hand from the ground is one, but in the hand is another. There are silhouetted, naked trees that cut off at the edges of the hand and beneath the trees and a man digging a grave next to the tree trunk. Altogether a very effective piece that captivates the viewer and also sets the scene for the film.
These are actually three individual posters placed together in a set. They are all posters for the Star Wars saga and are in a similar design as the previous poster. Each of the coloured shapes are that of a character from the films. Like Laz Marquez, Moss uses only three colours apart from he uses different tones of the main colour. There is black and white and then the colour apart from the colour of the paper he prints his work onto. Each of these are very powerful and can either be viewed as individuals or as part of their set, yet all will still look great.
Once again, only using three colours, Olly Moss creates the title of a film using what looks to be tooth picks. I know that Rain Man is about an autistic man gambling and most gamblers have some sort of personality that they put across by either wearing sunglasses in every game or chewing tooth picks and so such. I think that may be a relation to the title in this poster. I like the posible idea behind this piece and how it has been put across.
the idea of the toothpics comes from a scene where dustin hoffmans character manages to count a large amount of toothpics dropped on a table within seconds of just looking at them. that's how his autistic brain works and that's an important scene that explains why he would be such a good gambler.
