2. ANSWERING THE QUESTION How are historical ideas of style still relevant today? I will achieve this by analysing his work amongst the contemporary work of todays. Making comparisons and analytical judgments on work from Saul Bass and Shepard Fairey and any other media- orientated art form. I will look at: A range of movie posters and there design aspects. The difference between today’s movie posters vs the movie posters of Saul Bass’ time. Critically evaluating his work amongst todays, and how effective they where at giving a visual representation of film/media. His design decisions and how that effects the audiences perception of that particular work. When analysing research critically I will also take into account; the elements of art: dots, point, line…etc and principles of art: composition, point of interest, balance…etc
