The 87th Annual Academy Awards were quite an event. Neil Patrick Harris was surrounded by an enormous backdrop that immersed us within the spectacle. The graphics were a throwback to poster designs from decades ago. They reminded me of Saul Bass in many respects.
The tributes to those who had passed on were tended to with an artist’s care. There is a great article on Motionographer and Art of the Title about the man behind those graphic designs, Henry Hobson, and the talented artists at Elastic.
