Public screening of classic movies can give a designer the opportunity to recreate movie posters the way they should have been done from the beginning. Brandon Schaefer of seekandspeak.com has redesigned posters for some popular movies. Overall they have a nice illustrative feel and capture the essence & feel of the movie.
Between these posters and yesterday’s Movie posters for minimalists, and other movie poster redesigns I’ve seen – maybe Hollywood should take note. A movie poster should be more than photos of the three stars doing something wacky on a colored background with a Gill Sans Ultra Bold headline.
I saw Burn After Reading exclusively because of it’s Saul Bass-esque poster. Unfortunately, that movie kind of sucked.
