“Modiano” Róbert Berény’s most famous design
After looking at these reference images, I established how and why I wanted to complete my project.
I decided to replicate “Modiano” by Róbert Berény and this is my finished product.
After choosing to make my piece look as if it was hanging on a brick wall, I saw it fit to add to the 1920-1930’s aspect by adding apples and job-listing slips to add to the Great Depression timeline.
I added apples as a crop to my picture because during the great depression apples were used by the under-class to throw at poster/advertisements out of anger because they couldn’t afford to buy them. I also added job listing slips because of how in demand jobs were in these frantic times.
I chose to replicate this poster because of how simple the design was, yet how obvious the advertisement was about. Róbert Berény was an influential artist/ illustrator and introduced a newer, contemporary style that can be seen close to Bauhaus and to a Russian constructivism.
I’m quite proud of how my project turned out. I spent about 7-8 hours on this entire project, and I think I deserve a 9.5/10 because I thought through this project, and made sure that it fit the time period it was in.
