Digital Applications - Roberto Perrino








Roberto Perrino is a graphic designer specialising in advertising and print design. One of his main influences in music and his portfolio features a lot of music related event posters, which have a style I personally feel is very aesthetically pleasing. 

There is a heavy use of typography throughout a lot of Perrino's poster designs, again, similarly to Sebatsian Nikolaou, Perrino tends to use a lot of sans serif, bold fonts, simliar to the likes of Bebas. 

There is a heavy use of textures and gradients and light effects to draw the eye into the centre, throughout Perrino's work which I feel are little touches which really finish off the final designs. I feel these techniques work most effectively in the `blue exhibition' and the `mountains beyond mountains' posters. He also tends to use darker colour palettes throughout his designs which are also very effective as they are very bold and always work well together. For example, in the  `mountains beyond mountains' poster, it has a very simple brown and neutral colour palette, however with the imagery, gradients and textures this rather simplistic colour palette still works very effectively and the design is most certainly interesting to look at. Again, smaller touches such as the second `mountains' actually being behind the image of the mountain, really shows that a lot has thought has been put into what the most effective layout would be.
