Inspiration:

"Behind a good poster should be a message or idea," says Jesús Prudencio, the illustrator/designer behind the fantastic Cars and Films series of posters. "It must communicate something and should reach everyone.

Cars And Films is the personal project of the designer Jesús Prudencio, which shows his personal view of some of the most famous iconic cars in the history of cinema.

 Concept:

The name comes from The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band) was created by a group of British art-schoolstudents in the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz and psychedelic pop with surreal humour and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the public attention through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set.

Process: The whole process was an ongoing experiment and style play. From plastic textures to metallic shadows.
