Slasherfan posted:I really hate these Friday The 13th covers. Photoshopped blood like this always looks rubbish. It can't be that hard to take a picture of an actual white table on a white backdrop with fake blood on it to make sure the perspective (at the very least) looks believable. All the stock photos of blood that film posters and the like use for this just look dumb.

Why is the movie title's text completely and utterly not centered in any way shape or form?

Here I go being extremely picky again, I mean that's an okay poster and all, but the composition is throwing me off and nothing looks like it's centered. It all looks like it's veering towards the right because of that giant bird and the "FUNNY" quotes aren't centered in the same spot as the rest of the poster. Big rule: Even if everything else in your poster is perfectly centered a la snapping in Photoshop, it's gonna look 'off' if you have one giant black foreground object that takes up a huge amount of right-side space and things need to be spread out or else it's going to look lopsided.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I realize that, but I'm asking what the rationale behind your criticism is. As a dumbass layman, I'm asking "so what?" Here, I whipped something up real quick trying to illustrate what I'm saying, if it makes any sense...  The crow itself is perfectly aligned, the quotes at the top did end up being aligned with the title/body even though I suspected it didn't, but a lot of the dark, foreground weight is in the right side with not much darkness along the top or the left side to balance it. Where the red lines are is where I kind of see this the most. Overall it's not something to get up in arms over but it really does immediately draw my eye towards the bottom right and I miss all of the information along the top if it does that, which takes away from the quotes being pretty clever. It's not so much apparent in full view and more apparent when the picture is opened in a new browser window with nothing else around it. v  vNot everything has to be completely symmetrical. But the weight of this poster being completely on the right threw my eyes, and if I didn't scroll down posts to see the stuff at the top first I probably would have seen it last. VV No problem! Apologies in advance if this makes zero sense to anyone but me. VV Suzuki Method fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jun 1, 2012 |

Vagabundo posted:If you're living in the US, go to the midnight IMAX screenings of Prometheus and get this limited edition poster. Wow, I really enjoy both of those posters! The blue and pale yellow colour scheme of the Looper one is great and I like the composition. Too bad I have no idea if I actually will enjoy Looper since I haven't heard of it until now, but this poster is doing it's job because now I have to see it in order to see if I can justify buying this.  And the Prometheus poster looks suitably retro, wish I lived in the US to snag one-- I think all the marketing for Prometheus was pretty good in general, good stuff.Baron von Eevl posted:Which itself reminds me of Oh this is beyond cool. I never knew that Dali picture existed and now the Silence of the Lambs moth's pattern makes a totally different type of sense.

kiimo posted:Here's our latest... I like this poster a lot and I never heard about this movie until now. Thanks mate.  I like that it is, as you said, minimally photoshopped and that it immediately tells you what it's about instead of two guys standing next to each other staring at the camera in their own goofy way or something.E: I've had to 'de-double-chin' photos before, it's still inherently funny every single time even though everyone will get a double chin in certain poses

Jefferoo posted:Continuing the tradition, here's a fanmade Drive poster. Oh my god, until someone pointed out the bottom thing is his car I thought it was supposed to be a godawful lighter with built-in flashlights. I also love the absolutely gaudy grain texture behind Gosling and Mulligan's names. The Drive posters were very good. Why do people have to make more? The only acceptable one I've seen was that one that got made into a faux-VHS tape cover.

A DRIVE: NICOLAS WINDING REFN MOVIE I guess this must be what Alan Moore feels like about Rorschach, or how Sting feels about playing that Every Move You Make song at weddings. Drive has gotta be my favourite film, but the combination of awful posters and insufferable nerds who miss the entire point of the film fill me with

Jasta posted:The title seems to stand out too much. I just find it a little distracting. I love Emma Stone's pose, though. Posing? She's standing up straight doing nothing in front of the camera. That would work really well, like Ez said, as the DVD menu. Besides the fact they all look like melting wax it's a pretty stylish poster. VV It's okay dude. Everyone likes Emma Stone's face.

Yes! I just managed to find out. That's neat, I have never heard that phrase before. I love that poster. The redacted marker scribbles just do enough that you get interested in the poster but not too much that you could never make out the title. Very well executed.

Physical posted:Meet the [Blank] are some pretty great "trailers". Meet the Spy should have been the 22 minute pilot to their new TF2 based series. The new 3-minute trailer for the latest TF2 update was better than all of the trailers I saw in the theaters before watching Total Recall yesterday. It's almost kind of sad.

Does anyone have an example of a violent action movie/etc. movie with guns and stuff having a movie poster that looks girly or like a romantic comedy or something? I want to see that done for some reason. Have it with the typical fonts for chick flicks and vintage filters or something but it's some dude with a gun or something.
