Reminiscent of ‘The Fighter' Poster (below) Ben Wiseman’s 50th Anniversary cover design for Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s ‘A Coney Island of the Mind’ attracted me with its prominent use of typography. I automatically registered the fact that it was dealing with an Americana spectacle, perfect for the island well known its fun fare. Both posters have taken a traditional old style printing press look, and modenised it for a new generation. It is an interesting twist using the luminous changing colours which stand out and attract attention, whether on a book shelf or in a cinema lobby.
