Telluride 2016.

The Telluride Festival of 2016 has announced its poster, by "illustrator, designer and art director Yann Legendre."
After our discussion of Cannes and the NYFF's somewhat premature one by "Joe" Weeresethakul, how's this for coolness? It does have a sharp look, I guess. With all its triangular shapes, it's like something I myself might have done, at one time. I admit I don't like the colors much, or the sub-Escher-esque look. But still, sharp.
They doubtless felt on save ground because Legendre, who's originally from France, won a prize for another festival poster.
Born in France in 1972, Yann Legendre is an internationally recognized illustrator, designer and art director. His illustrations have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, GQ, Creative Review, Stylist Magazine and more. He regularly creates illustrations for Universal Music in London, the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago, Janus Films and the Criterion Collection in New York. In 2011, CB2 (Crate&Barrel) commissioned him to illustrate a new collection of home furniture called “Fresh Ink“. In 2010 he started a collaboration with the American filmmaker Joe Swanberg, designing and illustrating all of the director’s movie posters. That same year Yann received the “Award of Excellence for the Best Movie Poster Design” from the SXSW Film Festival in Austin. His latest illustrated books included “Grimm's Fairy Tales”, (Rockport, 2014) and “Couture Confessions: Fashion Legends in Their Own Words” (Rizzoli, 2016). Yann splits his time between France and the United States.
