上野動物園 Ueno Zoo

33

The entire poster uses strong contrasts: on a blue background, a red lion is presented in a minimalist silhouette: the round face radiates a mane of fine rays, and the four slender legs and upturned tail form an interesting shape; the two blue eyes in the center of the lion echo the color of the background, giving the image a more adorable feel. At the bottom left of the poster, “UENO ZOO 上野動物園” is written in white sans-serif, making the overall image distinctive and friendly, and the overall style is very abstract and interesting.
