Visual Themes of Wes Anderson Films

I’ve always been a fan of Wes Anderson’s work.  I love the visual style of his films and how he uses those themes and styles consistently in his portfolio of work.  You always know it when you see it.

Claire Jariss Manlapas details his style and themes in a great article http://www.youthedesigner.com/graphic-design-tips/design-principles-films-of-wes-anderson/

The name Wes Anderson can easily be associated with “details” because of his keen attention to the smallest factors — be it in production or costume design. His greatness is no magic. When we try to carefully analyze how his movies are made, we’ll find that there are many similarities among his works because he follows a certain structure — different design principles. Take a good look at how film director Wes Anderson demonstrates some design principles in his films.

Way Too Indie has put together a video about Wes and his trademark style:
