Lydia Nichols

Whilst scouring the internet I came across the work of Lydia Nichols. I couldn't tell you exactly what it is that appeals to me so much, perhaps Lydia states it best when she says her work 'strives to be narrative while remaining concise and simple'. This is the perfect way to describe her visual style, which is evident in the image to the left. Again a re-imagined poster design for 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?', this one has a slightly different feel than Trevor Basset's. More elements of the film's plot are on display, and the arrangement of these elements is perfect. The success of this poster is determined by how it communicates the message with such simple vector illustrations.
