  It's just something people do to fill in time. To be fair I think most of them are made by design students or amateur designers.

  What annoys me is not that people are designing their own film posters, but that they always seem to follow a set aesthetic and even formula. Most are not clever or good communication.

  The formula seems to go:
  • Take a key prop from a movie (a movie with a macguffin helps)
  • draw that prop in a flat vector style
  • keep colours muted and simple
  • keep layout very minimal
  • then roughen up the surfaces to look slightly distressed

  I made this is about 10 minutes to prove a point, it's shit and that's the point:

  

  way too much monkey-see, monkey-do in design on the web these days
