Eh, that one doesn't really work as well for me. Maybe he should have done something with the Death Star or the shuttle or the dish or something instead.

I feel like, while this one is visually cool, it feels a little strained.

It's the only one where two iconic shapes aren't coming together - it's just one shape made from something else.

It's also the one one where the foreground is used as part of the larger image.

I feel like, maybe it would've been better if the ATST layer had been brought forward and the tree layer pushed back one.

Black people are the real racists!
To be fair ROTJ has the least iconic imagery of the three films. And Vader's mask is hard to make recognizable in an outline while also making the composition good. I think he did the best that could be done with those constraints and the colors are pretty at least. :shobon:

Yeah, I couldn't of done any better.

Hey, kiimo, I've always meant to ask how someone would get into your line of work - I've done design work in the past, for the local council, some national companies, and it's been well regarded, but never really thought about moving into poster and film logo design...

I like the RotJ poster. If I'd never seen Star Wars I'd probably think it's about Future Samurai or something, which isn't so far off the mark.

I love how the simple outline of Mos Eisley has more atmosphere and life than any of the background cityscapes we got in either the special editions or the prequels.

The one thing I don't like about this movie is that they rereleased the book with this as the cover.

Thankfully I got the version before, which has this cover:

For the longest time, I refused to buy any sort of book with a movie tie-in cover because I was so self-conscious about being judged as someone who jumped into the book just because the movie was coming out - which to be fair was probably true. Eventually I understood that who gives a poo poo, we're on a bus, no one's judging me.

Cloud Atlas though, that was a tough one.

Because they already made Scary Movie and no-one wants to be associated with Friedberg and Seltzer?

I was under the impression those Friedberg/Seltzer movies are huge moneymakers regardless of quality and people still want to watch them.

(I thought the obvious choice would be "Paranormal Movie")

Cedric the Entertainer is still alive? For some reason I thought he died years ago. I think I got him and Bernie Mac fused together in my mind. Or that maybe he was the third of the Bernie Mac/Isaac Hayes death set, because celebrities always die in threes.

A fairly lazy/poorly done poster, but try guessing what the movie is about from the visuals/tagline. (Don't cheat!)

Not getting/knowing it is the point of the poster.

I especially enjoy the creepy bastardization of the Dreamworks smirk in the last one.

The cover art for The Frog Prince is misleading because the tale is set in Africa.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
Just a heads up, Mondo is going to be doing something for Black Friday. Last year they had Olly Moss' My Neighbor Totoro posters:


They don't announce what it's going to be, just that there is going to be something.

Also, Joshua Budich is doing a "mystery tube sale" on Monday, where you pay $45, get 3 of his prints randomly, and some of them will have a rare 4th print included from this:

You think they will annouce it on Twitter when it's available, or is this super-special where I have to :f5: all day to have a chance to get it?

By the time they announce it, most will already be sold. Never go by the Twitter announcement. They put the stuff up for sale and then make the Twitter post. Since this stuff sells out in seconds, by the time the Tweet is posted your chances of getting something are slim.
