A poster of the movie is the first thing that a person interested in a movie invites. Someone is more of a poster in the street even before they added the teaser trailer or learn to see the excerpts from another film to see. It is the first step to think about someone that cinema is all about.
Given this premise, it would not be surprising to know that some artists have a good movie posters illustrate the life. In fact, there are many of them who were as icons like their work. Some artists are particularly noteworthy, Drew Struzan and Saul Bass.
The top designers can probably as a defender of the two philosophies (described there may be many mentions) show in the film. The first, which practices drew Struzan, is a variety of painting, which drew the characters and scenes, the audience that the movie is all about will show.
Drew Struzan acrylic airbrush style was after working with Charlie White III of what popularly as Star Wars “Circus” poster, famous. This painting was hung from a picture of Luke and Leia from a series of images of Darth Vader, Han Solo, the Storm Troopers and droids is surrounded been dominated. The nickname comes from the fact that the overall composition is similar to a torn posted bill on a plywood wall.
He can also see his hand on Drew popular trilogies like Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Star Wars Special Edition movies. It is also a favorite of Jim Henson, who was tapped for the various Muppet movies. Recently, during the 1990s and early 2000s worked on Drew Mallrats, Hell Boy, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone posters.
Other members of this type of design, Richard Amsel (The Sting), John Solie (Soylent Green) and Frank Frazetta, who is also famous for his work on Conan the Barbarian comics.
The other school of thought in the creation of movie posters of the view that the drawings should not be taken literally. We can say this is typical of the work of Saul Bass poster.
known works, the Saul Bass poster for Vertigo by Alfred Hitchcock, and Natalie Wood-rigid are West Side Story. An interesting thing to note is the lack of pictures of actors on the movie posters (such as drawings or photographs). Instead, Bass had to create a tendency for the important story elements. For example, in the legendary Vertigo poster, the central image is that of a man and a woman in the center of a spiral, which gave an impression of falling.
How to use a limited range of bass and flat shapes reminiscent of the Russian Constructivists, the popular propaganda posters from 1919-1932 were. However, some, like the poster for Love in the Afternoon with Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper were more modern in its time (late 1950s), but still used bass tilt visual metaphors.
Other posters of the films by various artists in this style are Clockers Spike Lee films (this is by Saul Bass design Anatomy of a Murder) inspires and Jungle Fever (photography, but uses a metaphor visually).
As the days pass it becomes obvious that the illustration is replaced by posters of the traditional art and digital photography. Of course there are other ways to produce a movie poster design is legitimate and good work, but fun to see the pencils in the ink and color will be sorely missed.
However, if someone in the figure of movie posters and design (traditional or digital mix), he or she will be thinking a welcome addition to an area that has inspired many minds, and imagine. Should they continue as a corporation or a large-format digital printing company with extensive experience in the posters is a good thing to have the Rolodex. After all, how they would distribute their posters and show their work?
