While this music poster displays movement it also has a interesting navigation system. Again, scale is used to set the start position of the navigation. Memphest (which is the band i'm guessing?) is biggest so your eye is drawn there first and then you move to the location since it is the next in scale. As your eye leaves the d of pyramid (the venue) you drop below to the date and time.  The your eye is lead to the ticket price and it's curve shape leads your eye back up to the small text that shows other bands that will be attending. So after analyzing this poster fully I now think that Memphest is the name of the festival and if that is true you are lead to the band names last. Which defeats the whole purpose because that is the most important when designing a flier. The navigation in this poster is interesting and does work but the level of importance this designer put the info in the navigation is backwards.

This Calvin Klein ad by M/M Paris exudes motion. First, the models pose suggests movement because she is twisted and not just sitting straight and vertical. Then the two designers took simple elementary arts and crafts style and cut out spiraled and curved lines. The lines wrap around the model as if it was a moving snake. The flow of the lines, areas that are cut and the models position all suggest movement.
