Funny,just been going through some of my fave films and I would say 75-85% have a terrible poster... including most of Scorsese's best work. Getting old now but for most of my life I have loved great film posters, so seductive when done well - part of the whole package / anticipation / excitement of cinema. A sign of getting old is saying how things used to be better but do you think film posters are quite poor these days? Not many great examples from the last 20 years, show me some.( and please no Adobe illustrator vector visual pun fan art)

I posted this pages ago but here we go again. THIS is a film poster. Art direction, typography, concept in relation to film. Timeless, powerfull and a perfect summation of the film. Fuck 99% of these illustrator fan posters - just not v.good. As someone who uses digital tools everyday its hard to say but I think its the computer that makes them so soulless and pretty bad.
Anyway, enjoy an example of the golden age of film poster.

- type's too small, must be able to read it from 3 miles away /sGnash

- the /s is code for sarcasm -- this is a lovely poster and the typography relicts the quiet terror that builds slowly in the film. love it.Gnash

A lot of these are basically fan art movie posters, made after the fact, sometimes years later, and sold as such.Don't get me wrong, all of them are amazing, but they weren't used to advertise the film really. Shouldn't calling something a movie poster be an actual movie poster?
- all of them are not amazing... I agree.fadein11

- the names should be switcheddeathboy
- contractual agreementsjuanluisgarcia
- This is actually extremely common in movie posters, I've noticed. To have the bigger star on the right, in the image, with the names not matching up.nb
- huh. just really noticed it on this one. id say fuck the man and switch it.deathboy

- Yeah, it's something I've noticed since I was a little kid. It must be intentional, as most of the time you see two people it's a comp, right?nb
- You think they could just reverse the image if name order is contractual or something.qbner
- Right. I'm saying it's intentional. To have the names opposite the person. It maybe catches your eye?nb
- evens out the billingimbecile
- The client will check for the order of those names first before even noticing you had a sodomized nun in the poster.CyBrainX
