Comments (0)Last week I, very lightly, mocked the repetition of some design decisions in the posters for the X-Men series. Well, Today France totally shut me up.
Different characters in every poster! Well, one or two different characters in every poster, but still…
I have to admit that, as far as selling the movie goes, this is probably [...]

Comments (2)The Finnish would like you to know it’s X-MEN Origins: Wolverine
At least this time they don’t seem to be walking.

Comments (2)Seeing this poster you might find yourself remembering this other poster:
Those claws, they sure are useful. They can represent a three if you’re advertising the third X-Men film, or they can represent a W if you are advertising the first Wolverine movie. Is there anything they can’t do?
Well, I guess it would be hard to [...]

Comments (0)The Watchmen poster campaign has mostly kept a coherent visual style and used well the fascinating characters. This poster gets all of those characters together and keeps the same visual style, so I guess I can’t complain about it too much. Still, it’s sort of a dull ending for a campaign that had a great [...]

Comments (0)And so one of the more interesting poster campaigns of this year is coming to a close. Honestly, although I still think it’s quite a good campaign, it peaked too soon. That teaser poster was everything I wanted the posters for this film to be: sharp, strong and with a clear and unique visual style. [...]

Comments (0)Comic Books always struck me as a medium uniquely fit for movie adaptations. After all, they both tell stories through pictures and words.

Comments (1)Lenticular posters are those 3D/moving things you sometimes see on you local cineplex. As you can imagine it’s not very easy to tell exactly the effect one of those will have in real life from a picture on the internet. For example, I quite liked this poster when I first saw it, but I was [...]

Comments (0)And now, via UGO, we get to the big boys in these two posters, that, as you’ll probably quickly notice, show the same scene from the perspective of our villain and then from the perspective of our hero. Nice concept, impressive images.
I like that a few visuals elements and ideas from previous posters made into [...]

The Spirit has one the most interesting poster campiagns of this year, and they apparently plan on keeping it interesting. The latest gambit is is a parternership with nine art schools for the creation of nine student-designed campaigns, which will, I assume, include posters. The first poster resulting from this partnership can be seen above, [...]

Comments (1)Let me make a confession: I used to be a Dragonball fan. Really, really liked the show. And back on those old days I used to drool at the thought of a Dragonball movie.
But the years have passed, my tastes have changed and boy is this looking like a bad idea now. Looking being the [...]
