Simon Page

OK, so the geek in me is really coming out with this post. I love this series of Star Wars related posters designed by Simon Page, simply for pleasure. The designs are about the fictional planets and universes where a lot of the plot lines take place in the movie franchise. I love the simplicity of the designs, in direct juxtaposition of the often complex story lines. The colours may look like they were chosen purely for aesthetic value however this is a reason behind every choice. For example Tatooine is a desert planet, hence the sandy tones. Hoth is a planet covered in snow and ice therefore it is depicted as blue, Endor is considered a giant forest therefore it is green and Dagobah is covered in murky swamps hence the muted yet slightly dank tones.
