Sometimes you have professional graphic designers doing a bad job, and sometimes you have a kid that barely knows how to use Photoshop: Oh, and a goon acted in this one. He/She says the movie is bad.

Keep posting the minimalist posters, those are really weird to find over here and I love them. - Transition from good poster, to bad DVD cover. I heard the one on the left was censored in the US, is that true? Because in my country we had it in all its gory glory. And I don't care if the movie was crap,or if it is a copy of whatever, I still want that poster in my wall:  Meh DVD cover:

We have all seen how non-white actors are removed from foreign posters. Now, how about the contrary! Adding a Mexican actor for Mexican audiences in a lovely poster, for a lovely movie:  Now, this is ~ART~! Edit: Katie Holmes photoshopped face is gold.

I was browsing around, as some poster caught my attention. This one:  I don't know if it has been done before, but I thought -ignoring the photoshopping and flying heads- it was original. In my way, of course, I stumbled with a few bad ones, god ones and "meh" ones. I want this in my wall:  Meh. Text over face is getting kinda boring:  Bluray/DVD cover.  The theatrical poster is not better, trust me. And finally:  And according to the site where I found this: quote:An awesome new poster for The Hunger Games has recently been revealed and it does a great job of emphasizing the ‘game’ part of the movie, with the tagline, “the world will be watching,” providing insight into another element of the movie. It actually does a great job in making me ignore the movie. The poster is too 'epic action' generic for me.

Now let's go back to an era where technology was limited, and photoshop wasn't there to ruin/improve movie posters: These are from my country, from around the 50's and 60's, and I seriously would like to see how things were in other goons' countries. Nicely done,using the old orange/blue contrast.  Blue and orange again, but I still love the art. Making movies of charros was really common during the time:  CREEPY. But don't be fooled, Tin-Tan was an awesome comedian and the creator of this poster was really talented:  Well done:  Luchadores floating heads. And mummies:  And here I'll show you something that will make you weep. Macario: is an amazing movie about an indigenous man and his relationship with Death. If you like old black and white foreign movies, give it a chance. Anyways, the poster for it was this:  Then recently someone decided to modernize it:  Good. But of course, and as usual, someone decided that the DVD should be catchy. Who cares if the movie is considered an art film?, gently caress it! Purple and goofy font! So Mexican!

I'm probably calling them good because they were practically reproductions of paintings and drawings, instead of a head Photoshopped to a body. I'm aware that the use of two colors is very overused nowadays. Edit: Not that all were good, there are a bunch that were terribly bad done! And then consider the fact that some posters were meant to be cheap, I guess that was the reason of using as little colors as possible. Here are more posters, the artist is Ernesto "Chango" García Cabral if anyone wants to look more of his stuff:

Carthag posted:Those Ernesto "Chango" García Cabral reminded me of the posters for Danish films (especially the ones for comedies) made by Aage Lundvald: These are beautiful! Post more if you can Here have another one from García Cabral, this was done around 1952:  And this is...this I don't know who did it. But it's from the 80's. Quite the change!

westborn posted:Sweet stuff Are posters like this still being made? Or are we stuck now with red big letters and white backgrounds for comedies, with bodies assembled together and brushed to Hell in photoshop? And I don't like the posters for Red Tails. When you talk to me about serious WWII movies, I think of vintage and Saving Private Ryan. Not awesome CGI loving EXTREME airplanes and dubstep.

I think we haven't posted the poster of The Artist: I like it, it's simple, black and white with just a little of red. The bad thing? Scriptina. I'm very sure the "The" is with the font Scriptina.

Ez posted:I'll never understand the obsession goons have with fonts. At least it's not comic sans or impact right? I'm studying Graphic Design, and worked in a studio during December, we love to freak out about stuff like that. But yeah,overused fonts can make your whole work look cheap and amateur. Hell, using the wrong font can change the mood in your design.

Although they could had used another type of Comic book font that wasn't Comic Sans. Like the Red Tails poster did. My boss would always avoid Comic Sans like the plague.

Speaking of recycled posters. Which was first? This?  Or This?  I have that last poster in my door, and it's weird (and so lazy) that they decided to use an old photo for the one of the sequels. Unless the first one is poster that was made later... I like this one, even if the posters doesn't tell us anything about the movie:

That is seriously so loving depressive. But hey! The little cute lamb is going to die for God! Yay! More crappy stuff:   Reasons why it's ugly for me? Aside from being so generic. Look at their EYES. Look at the dragon girl's "sexy" and "cute" pose. It always creeped me out seeing those posters in real life.

The first poster makes it look like a drama,probably the dog dies, or is injured, or they have to put it down, you know what I'm talking about*. Second one like it's a funny movie about a dog doing wacky things during the war, with lots of fart jokes. *I haven't seen this movie, so it's not a spoiler.

Kurtofan posted:That poster and the other ones : I won't go "  This offended my female eyes and feelings!!" Because the posters are well done,and reflect what the movie is about, that's a well done job. Also I think ,and I hope, that they actually made a photoshoot for this, instead of slapping different people together in photoshop.I find the last one less tasteful and more misogynist for some weird reason. It's perhaps the way they are laughing and how it looks they're about to do a brofist or something. I guess it's the same as when they censor cursing with funny words,making everything worse.

Yeah, I can see why. But there were a million more creative ways to catch the eye of those who wouldn't get the first posters; sadly we are aware not everyone knows who is Edgar Allan Poe. This just looks like the cover you would use for the DVD.

This is another one. I'll give it a lot points in originality for the watercolour and the paper texture. But then comes the font, and the cut and pasted photos, and it fucks up everything.

At least Lee looked like he was about to murder pretty much everyone as well though. Yeah, Brandon Lee's Crow had more of a "I'm a loving badass". The one I posted is killing me because of the mighty pout he has.
