Lilya Brik Poster 1924


This is Rodchenko's most iconic piece of work, a 1924 advertising poster using the portrait of Lilya Brik.
Within this poster; Rodchenko has made the typography work with the portrait, almost turning it into an image itself. The layout of the type on this poster is what makes it work, as every type element has been carefully considered to intergrate them within the poster.
I also like how he has divided up the space, using shapes and colour, which creates a lot of impact and draws your attention to the portrait as it contrasts the vivid colours of the background.
