The singer is portrayed in profile with ruffled hair and naked torso, suggestive of the film’s hippie theme, and the arrows are the sights of a rifle. ![]() The design of the Nashville poster made use of only a few elements: a grainy photographic portrait of a singer, delicately rendered arrows converging towards the centre and a background of red and white stripes. The best of them include Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver”(1977) and Robert Altman’s “Nashville”(1976), whose impact relied on the economic use of collage. ![]() The Polish film posters designed by Klimowski in the 70’s have become classics. He himself has said: “with the increasing and almost infinite possibilities of image manipulation offered by the digital media, I consciously decided to move away from photography and embrace the limitations of the more traditional techniques of drawing, painting, and printmaking”. During the digital age, a wave of computer-manipulated photographs pervaded graphic design, but Klimowski returned to images made entirely by hand. In the 1970s, he was living in Poland using collage and photography in his poster designs, when the predominant trend in Polish poster design was painterly-symbolic.
