But it panders to a different demographic so that makes it bad Wait, what demo are floating heads for? Turk and JD?

Well it is literally a green lantern, so I think some people can work it out. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jan 5, 2013 |

I actually like this one a bit: It captures the feel of the film, even if it's a little "busy", and the artwork is really well done. However, this one is lame and lazy, and they got the Warriors gang color wrong:

Weirdly that does sum up Green Lantern: stupid bullshit that assumes you are already way into Green Lantern and makes no accommodation for anyone who doesn't know and doesn't care by default.

casa de mi padre posted:Those posters are cool until you've seen like 50 of them and realize it's the same thing every time. Like generally a movie's poster should suit that movie... a bunch of floating heads/figures suits every movie equally well. It's cool if you're a huge fan of the movie and want to see all the characters crammed into one poster, sometimes multiple times. And if, in the case of Swan, you want to see them with 50 years tacked on.

My only real issue is that do subway maps have the years printed on them? If not it seems like a clumsy way to establish the time period. As it is though that image would've served as a great teaser poster.

It'd be a great teaser for a remake, as it stands yeah it's a bit off to have the year stated. Aside from that I'd love to have a print, although I'd never conflate it with anything other than junk art.

Challenge: Does anyone dare to contest the perfection of the Jurrasic Park poster? Is there another that you believe tops it in terms of message and design? I've tried and nothing comes close (apart from Clifford, obviously).

The cut off edges are interesting and I've wondered how it would look not cropped. The answer is "boring". It loses its sense of immediacy.

By the same token, the Ghostbusters 2 poster gets across the message that its fundamentally the same as the first movie, except worst in every way.  To move away from things that are logos, the classic Metropolis poster fits the film perfectly:

Another classic. I really love that the 'no' symbol is off-centre, a lesser designer would have tried to centre it or rework the ghost. Interesting that both the examples given are simple logos on black that predate Jurrasic Park. JP really feels like the pinnacle of this style, it just says so drat much about the film.

I was going to save you all these, but since we're posting horrible fan posters I suppose I have no choice... Terrible, makes no sense unless you've seen the movie:  Brutally terrible, makes no sense even if you've seen the movie:  Compare those to what I think is a pretty fantastic poster that draws people in:  But I love Logan's Run so perhaps I'm biased. [edit] Seriously, how intriguing is this art?

Yeah pretty much. It's been a while since I've seen Logan's Run and I have no goddamn clue what the first two posters are supposed to be.

I think the first one's supposed to be about the colour-coded uniforms that the people in the story wear depending on their age, but it's pretty much unreadable. Second one, I have no idea.

How about a poster that just shows the big pile of Triceratops poo poo. Maybe even have "that's one big pile of poo poo" as a tagline, but that's too much effort and fans should get it anyway.

 This poster (it is two posters) was hanging around my childhood house for years so maybe I'm a little biased, but I think it does an alright job. Draws you in with the camel, directs you to the important info about the film, (stars, title, etc.) and works both as an evocative image, and after you've watched Ishtar, as a pretty good joke.

I'm guessing your eyes are supposed to go Camel > Rope > figures ^ Logo ^ Warren Beatty's billing. Which I suppose is a clever way to solve the Hoffman / Beatty billing issue by having Beatty's been tied in better with the design but Hoffman's on top.

Everything about it also evokes Arabic, which would make Hoffman's name first if read right to left.

That Ishtar poster is pretty hideous with the camel/men somehow floating above the sand and the half-assed gradient used as a sky. I mean, sure, it reflects the film's quality, but that's not exactly praise-worthy!
