Dark Knight
BLT & Associates, 2008
- I enjoy this poster because there is a texture to the image that looks as if there is fog on a mirror and he is spelling words with his finger, but with blood. It creates a vast depth of field.
Taxi to the Dark Side
cold open, 2008
- I love the papery texture to this image. It looks as if they printed the poster on a paper document.
Hard Candy
Art Machine, A Trailer Park Company, 2006
- I love that the artist tried to balance out the image by placing the man in the middle, but the weight is dead center and doesn't give your eye room to roam. I enjoy this poster though because you can feel the blinds in your fingers.
Burn After Reading
Mojo, LLC, 2008
- I enjoy the direction of the text as it is dwindling downward towards the man the contrast between the words, man, and background color.
The Good Shepard
Crew Creative Advertising, 2006
- I chose this poster because of the way the artist included text into the design. I like how the eye is directed from the top corner down to the middle text and then down to the bottom for the credits.
2. A Post-Modern movie poster (designed after 1960)
Annie Hall
No designer listed, 1977
- I liked how the artist decided to stick with a very minimalist approach to this design. The artist has used a balance between words and the image to give a very easy flow to the piece.
Edward Scissorhands
No designer listed, 1990
- Not only is this poster fun, but the depth is amazing in this photo. It is as if you can see on for miles. Everything in this poster is balanced and unified.
3. A movie poster designed by Saul Bass
Anatomy of a Murder, 1959
- I enjoyed the unity of the two colors and the balance between the imagery and the text.
Love in the Afternoon, 1957
- Even though most of the weight lies in the top half, it has a very smooth downward motion.
Bird Man of Alcatraz, 1962
- The unity of the birds with the man's face is working because it causes a motion for the reader's eye from top to the bottom.
4. A movie poster designed before 1950
The Boy with Green Hair
No designer listed, 1948
- What struck me as interesting about this poster is that there is a high contrast between the black and white. I noticed that they placed the boy in the center, which wouldn't have been considered "right" in today's design.
