Palpek posted:I like the DVD covers for a recent Polish re-release of a few Charlie Chaplin classics: I dislike every single on of these. I dislike them because they don't suit the films at all, it's just minimalist art for the sake of it, and on top of that it's not even well done minimalist art. In my opinion, just awful.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:This poster for The Woman in Black is one of my favorite posters in a long while. If the movie is any good, I might just have to buy one for my wall. I don't see what's good about this poster. It looks like a bad Photoshop job, granted, it's not the usual bad Photoshop job, but it's still bad. Filter upon filter with no sense of layout.

I don't understand why it matters how long ago the first/last Spider-Man film came out. If it's a good film then you've got another good Spider-man film, and if it's not then you just shrug your shoulders and move on. The original films still exist.

veonenergee posted:New Mondo poster for Drive is pretty much yum: The hot pink colour works well in the film because the garish font and colour contrast the rich blues and yellows of the opening scenes. It tips the hand of the films off centre style and calls back to its European sensibilities. It does not work when its splashed all over the place like a defining element or when its placed against such a mundane look second colour as golden/beige. Also the font used on this poster looks like it belongs to some other movie, maybe the movie the trailer advertised, but certainly not the one everyone fell in love with. Also, the freeway never features in the film so its inclusion in the trailer is baffling. Why isn't he on a film set? Why aren't the elements of the poster separated by something that actually features in the film? Maybe the scorpion, the Los Angeles skyline, something. And... finally, I just don't think that style fits the film at all. The two tone look, the abundance of lines used to make Gosling look almost vectorised from a still. It's a gorgeous looking poster, but its not a good poster for the film Drive.

Rare Collectable posted:Perhaps because its depicting women as holes/legs for men to emotionlessly use? The way the man is staring into the camera doesn't make it look like he's very engaged with the woman he's "loving". That's the entire point though. It's not condone the imagery just because it uses it.

Mr. Squishy posted:Shame's had some pretty fun adverts: apart from this and the ladies back, I saw one which was just a sheet of reflective foil, with all the details, including the title, in white ink. I've not seen this one, and I don't know what its meant to be given your description. Can you link it?

Based on everything else I've seen of this film that's probably a shot of Dredd stood in front of the Mega-City One skyline.

Cacator posted:Out of all the possible pseudo-philosophical lines from the movie that could be on there, he picks one that isn't even about the Matrix itself? I'm guessing he wanted a line that fit the aesthetic he designs towards, not one that would summarise the film itself.

Mister Chief posted:Is there really a need to be so hyperbolic? Clearly an awful lot of people like his art style and think the posters he creates are very good but apparently they're absolute garbage and I should throw mine in the trash. You're taking this very personally. Some people just don't like his style, I think it looks awful personally, overly-busy and clearly traced, but hey, if you like it and own one then good on you.

kiimo posted:Same thing with the trees in Vader's mask. 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.

casa de mi padre posted: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. 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...

Rough Lobster posted:Not Another Teen Movie is another great parody film that gets lumped in with the others a lot. It's loving hilarious, imminently quotable, and there's a lot of great details that most people miss on the first viewing. Yeah, I really like that film, and it's one of the last good parodies. I also like Sex Drive, though I can't tell you one good reason I do.
