Visual Techniques Present: Intricacy, Unity, Symmetry, Balance, Complexity, Stasis, and Flatness.
This vintage Charlie Chaplin movie poster can be flipped either way, it is almost symmetrical but not quite. What makes this poster asymmetric is the Charlie's hair. The poster view that is shown, represents the full-body view of Charlie. The other way is just Charlie's head with his top hat. Flatness is a visual technique also present in this movie poster, as there are only two tones without depth. This poster also uses subtlety, stasis, understatement, economy, and simplicity. Stasis as the poster is without movement. Subtlety as the focus of the poster is a very simple cutout with minimal detail. Again, the simplicity of the poster ties in with the understatement visual technique.
