Cure the Blind

Bob Peak is probably most famous for a string of popular movie posters he illustrated in the 80′s. He is responsible for three Star Trek posters, Superman, The Dark Crystal, and of course The Wiz, among others. But before his success as a poster artists and subsequent, slightly embarrassing, affair with the glare effect, Peak produced some wildly imaginative advertising work. He employed multiple focal points for his complex layouts and of course he used bold, saturated colors. Throughout the different styles he developed, I think his use of color was the most consistent element.

You can see a lot more of Bob’s work at his website, don’t skip the sports paintings.
