Why do I like it? Polaroid photographs aren't a great design element, but for this movie they mean so much more. You have to have seen the movie to appreciate this movie! But its lasting impact deserves a mention here.

Why do I like it? The man behind the mask, this type of image has been done before, but not as well as this. The fact he's removing his glasses makes it work so well.

Concept Arts

Entertainment design is a fickle, unforgiving business – what is considered a miracle of marketing one day is passé the next. In movies, games and home entertainment, trends shift rapidly and are constantly evolving. So it is all the more remarkable that for two decades concept arts has been applying its awesome design talent and marketing innovation on campaigns that have stood the test of time. This is testament to the creative focus and core vales, which are at the heart of concept arts.

Creative Impact Agency

Why do I like it? Very different, the text over his face the fonts chosen, its all so visually impressive, yet ultra simplistic.
Nonfictionguy's rating:



Before you see any movie, you will typically experience its poster first, even if its just in the lobby. These works of art/graphic design sometimes give you a glimpse of the movie, a clue as to what to expect. Other times they conceal the truth of the movie, for good cause - because its dire! This list is about the best posters, the ones that grab my attention or ones that stuck with me over time, its not about the quality of the film.

Oh and please do allow for personal preference here, this is a list of movie posters that I appreciated or liked (not just award winners). I've also listed the official blurb from each company or the people that created them.

Due to the size of this project, lists will appear alphabetically by designer.

Enjoy
