An illustrator I have looked into is the American illustrator Bob Peaks, he is well known as a film poster illustrator and also a commercial one. His work is mainly in the 1950s and 60s and was dubbed "the father of the modern movie poster" He has also created 20 covers for Times Magazine and 39 Covers for TV Guide in America.
He first became a success by creating the poster for the 1961 West Side Story. I like how he uses simple line drawings and accompanies them with a bold of striking colour for a contrast. I want my image to be simple yet striking.
this is a poster for the 1966 film Camelot.
