Oh fun!!!
looks like I might be doing some Riso prints of the DOLPHN CVLT poster (as seen slightly below this post)- a very limited run, so it’s worth a look :)
Olly moss posters:
Inspired by my last post, I decided I’d dedicate a post to an undoubtedly fresh approach to poster design. Many of you will have heard of this guy and thus this may not interest you, but I decided it would be worth while to feature some of his iconic poster design for two prime reasons - one reason being that it’s contemporary and thus has a much more saturated collection of influences than archaic poster design, and the second reason being that there’s an element of iconic symbolism to each of his posters, much like many of the olympic posters of the past. Let’s have a look OK?

The legacy of Olympic Posters:
Ever since I saw the Tokyo 1964 olympics poster a few years ago, I’ve always had a soft spot for minimal yet bold design. I love the simplicity in representing the hosting country through simple shapes and colours - below are some of my favourites from the past and a few design propositions of the present day that I like almost as much.
TOKYO 1964
MONTREAL 1976
MOSCOW 1980
MEXICO 1968

Microsite for Peace is up, and somehow it’s mobile ready? cool! www.kiatas.me/peace/ - it will change with time and the illustrations will be archived
Peace Clock, on show now (along with all of the glyphs) at www.kiatas.me/peace/ - works on the phone believe it or not… that was lucky
