i find these kind of solutions in recent corporate designs too.
but nowadays the use of black in these kind of design has become taboo.
i think the use of black made many of those posters quite heavy (which is a good word to describe corporate designs like IBM). it was unique, but also… too heavy. you can see it also in studio shots, which then shot in a darker exposure, but nowadays it’s more fashionable to make the lightning as bright and as blinging as possible.
