Drawing on the walls.

Designs and art today can be inspired by cave paintings from the early ages. Cave paintings were the first visual evidence of people and culture from a past and today they are considered a type of written language. Often commonly found on the cave walls were pictures of large wild animals, abstract patterns, or images of humans depicting a story over time. I chose the images below because both have some type of influence by early cave paintings. Bon Iver's poster below, signifies the "giant wild beast" that was featured in many cave paintings. The colors and texture also represent an older feel with focus on the elephant. The advertisement/billboard under clearly shows abstract patterns and symbols, also including images of people depicting a story. Both of these advertisements whether for a band or for a drink both display something that was commonly painted on the walls many many years ago.
