The pictures above are examples of his work. as you can see, some of it is quite similar. he chooses bulky fonts and either uses all caps or none at all. Red is commonly used, as is black and white. These colours are very bold and stand out to catch the audiences eye. Red is also a primary colour which can cannote love, lust and danger.
