Effective use of negative space...like a sex machine

Real talk: James Brown was the man. The godfather of soul deserves a well designed poster in honor of his funkiness, and I think this poster certainly takes the cake. 

Using lyrics from his songs, this poster creates an action portrait of the one and only James Brown. The funky font lends itself to the feeling the poster tries to evoke, and it helps create a natural look on James' face, so much so that if you squint it looks like his face minus the words. It goes with the contours of the cheeks, lips and nose very well. The lyrics that are going around James' face are spaced in such a way with the background color to create James Brown's hair with the negative space. This poster helps to create a foreground image of James Brown singing with a background of energy all through the use of fonts and effective spacing of the font.
