Richard Amsel - Designer:

Richard Amsel was famous for his design works.

"Richard Amsel was an American illustrator and graphic designer. His career was brief but prolific, including movie posters, album covers, and magazine covers."

As quoted, he created movie posters, album covers, and magazine covers, in my opinion movie posters or album covers would be the medium in which a designer could have most freedom and expressive flair. 

Famous for magazine styles such as these, interesting to see how these compare to his film posters because as I've said, film posters have more freedom, in comparison to a magazine cover, which Amsel would be working towards a set brief.


 Amsel famously designed the movie posters for the Indianna Jones movies which were massive hits in the 80s and 90s, he created a beautiful, fluent poster for the film using a large illustration of the protagonist character, which does the film great justice.

Another film which Amsel designed for is China town, from what I see to be a gangster film set in 20th century America, Amsel's poster sets a great tone and mood to the movie, and again his use of illustration captivates the audience. His movie poster are works of art.
