In this poster, elements of design used include:
Value - The poster is compiled entirely of black, white, and greys. This gives the poster a solemn feeling and a clear sense of 'drama'.
Space - The subject of the poster is placed in the middle of the composition, leaving the outer edges of the composition a plain white. This leads the viewers eye straight to the subject of the piece.
Line/Shape - In this case, the lines contain and separate the smaller images used, and are used repeatedly in order to form the square shapes which in turn form the illusion of a face.
The principles consist of:
Balance - The picture is positioned with the subject in the center, and negative space surrounding. In both top corners, there is text, giving the look of a sort of imperfect symmetry.
Movement - The use of repeating imagery ensures no part of the subject is exactly the same, or static. The constant jumping of inage to image in such an enclosed space leads the viewers eye constantly through the image.
Pattern/Repetition - The square shape is used again and again in this piece aiding in the overall sense of unity.
Emphasis - The overall emphasis is directed to the center of the image, where the subject is located.
