Starsign Design



Dave Starsign Has been influenced by visual art and film for as long as he can remember. It all started with the design and animation he used to watch on Sesame Street growing up in the 1970s. In elementary school, he paid close attention to the layout in the school textbooks, and the design of cereal boxes, toy packaging and magazines. It inspired him to draw, starting out by recreating the illustrations in his childhood books and the cartoon characters on television. He then became addicted to drawing and it became his favorite hobby. When he began to buy music, his interest in graphic design flourished once hediscovered the unique and striking record cover art by designers like Peter Saville, Vaughan Oliver and Reid Miles. As he grew older, he became intrigued by poster designs from the 1960s and mid 1970s. he was also a fan of film title sequences, specifically Maurice Binder's titles for the James Bond films, Pablo Ferro's sequences for "The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Dr. Strangelove" and Kyle Cooper's work for the movie "Seven".
