Goliath Poster Design
July 5th, 2010
This is a poster design I submitted for the Applied Arts Young Blood Awards Issue this year. I am pretty sure the nominees have already been notified so I guess that means “better luck next year, Mat”.
I began this piece when I was half way through reading George Orwell’s classic 1984. I don’t want to get too into an essay about it, but the theme in the novel is about Big Brother keeping the working class where they need them. They only exist because Big Brother allows them. I really enjoyed this book and it inspired this poster.
I created a giant Goliath monitoring the city while the man in main focus contemplates his plan to infiltrate the system.
As primarily a Motion Graphic Artist that’s looking to get more into illustration and print mediums… you’re whole site is inspiring. Your work is very imaginative and extremely well executed. Definitely it’s something that inspires — and this piece especially caught my eye! Bravo!
Thanks a lot David. I’m really glad you like my work.
