Word + Image Unity

I think the type and silhouette of Homer Simpson flow well together. The yellow on black, in my opinion, was the best decision when choosing colors for this image. The yellow gives homage to the show while the black adds to the rustic feel of the whole image. The choice of phrases and font sizes are also a great detail the designer made; making the most commonly used phrases by Homer in the largest font and the less commonly used ones in a smaller font. While I do believe the font could fit a style more to what someone would recognize with a simpletons intellect, I still believe the choice made is one that works. It gives a more professional feel to the whole thing and makes recognizable as a poster rather than just a creative design piece. Over all, i think the with the contrast of dark against bright colors and general flow of the whole piece, this poster successfully ties together image and type.
