Movie Posters for Minimalists
Twitter user Wearepedistal sent me a link to an excellent collection of minimalist movie posters by Jamie Bolton, and it inspired me to put a post together with a few sets I have found over the years.
Jamie Bolton - Shoot the Glass. The big standout here is the Back to the Future trilogy, very clever. Extra points if you can name all of the years the dots designate.
Oily Moss. Created all the posters with only black, white, and red. Really love the Deer Hunter poster.
Graphic Nothing. Nice use of a similar graphic motif throughout to tie the posters together as a set.
Ibraheem Youssef. Great set of Tarantino posters. These could seriously be the Criterion Covers.
I think the interesting thing about all of these sets is they generally only work if you have seen the film and understand the reference. Thus, they are transformed from a promotional tool to something else entirely.
Any other sets out there that I missed? Let me know and I’ll add them! @RussianPencil
