RESEARCH: BEST POSTERS 2012/13

These are a collection of posters that caught my eye from various movies from 2012/2013. I have tried to pick out mainly illustration or graphics based designs, rather than photoshopped designs and photography. Hard to pick Favourites from this bunch but the Batman and Expendables designs are very striking while the poster for 'The Raid' is very clever.
