RESEARCH: FILM POSTERS: GRAPHIC POSTER


Some of these designs could possibly fall under the 'Minimalist' poster category but I have picked them because they are all predominantly graphics based. Similar to the minimalist poster post, the majority of these designs are homage designs from fans and/or designers illustrators.

Inception minimalist movie poster

The Usual Suspects minimalist movie poster

One observation I made quite quickly is the use of silhouette and shapes, in many cases the characters in the designs have been given little to no detail. This only works when the viewer can easily recognise the character simply from the shape, context or outline.

I also notice that the use of texture is very helpful when the design is of a more simple or graphic nature. Colour also seems to play a very important part in the design and has been used sparingly but effectively in most cases.
