24

Pierre Mendell is a graphic designer born in 1958 in Germany. He is known for his posters that he designed for the Bavarian State Opera (Bayerische Staatsoper) from  1993 to 2006, the year he died. One of his works is Plakate für die Oper, which translates to Posters for the Opera. The cover has a blue background like the sky with two clouds aligned vertically, and each cloud could have a set of eyes observing the viewer. The typography is clear and placed in the middle of the cover.
