Ben Wiseman, Illustrator, London

Description

This vertical illustrated poster by London-based illustrator Ben Wiseman features a clever graphic design for Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig. The composition is set against a plain cream background with bold black and red typography at the top displaying the title and author details. Below the text, a locomotive train emerging from a black starry cutout transforms downward into the blade of a silver knife with red blood drops extending toward the bottom. The clean vector-style artwork utilizes minimal shapes, sharp lines, and a striking high-contrast palette of black, red, white, and silver grey.
