OPP: Emilio Ortega

Emilio Ortega, who reads So Much Pileup all the way over in Spain, sent me this fantastic poster image for a Spanish movie from 1969 entitled "Un Dos Tres, Al Escondité Inglés." The title is based on a children's game, which is similar to "Red Light, Green Light."

Infancia '76

Here's a poster from Spain, 1976. Designed by Francisco Bas for the 14th Children and Youth Festival held from late 1976 - early '77. I can't resist letters made up of shapes and vice versa, so this one is a no-brainer for me. If anyone has more information on the designer, please share!
