INTRODUCTION TO FILM POSTERS

LESSONS THE BEST MOVIE POSTERS TEACH US

There’s no one right way to tackle a design project, but movie posters consistently prove two points. One is that art is always evolving. While filmmakers are contracting far fewer designs out to individual artists these days, there are countless alternative interpretations that designers and fans are sharing on social media or giving away at IMAX screenings. That’s pretty cool, in our opinion!

The second thing that good posters do—whether they’re one of these classic designs or a new alt style design—is to tell a story. The cleanest, simplest posters are the most enticing because they leave so much up to the audience’s imagination, letting them become part of that story, too.

Now we want to hear about your imagination. New films come out all the time, and we had to leave out quite a few of the old classics (so many movies, so little time). So let us know which classic posters you think deserve a spot on our list—or tell us which new posters will stand the test of time. We’d love to hear your comments below!
