1. Blank(a) Movie Posters - John Taylor, of UK Design house Blanka, excellently illustrates the power of color balance and separation and iconic imagery in movie poster design, sans any “proper type” element… A series of prints based on famous film posters deconstructed to minimal blocks of colours, leaving a interesting series of abstract shapes leaving a striking yet still recogniseable final image. Many, many more here. How many do you recognize? [via thegrid]

  3. 14 Awesome Alt Movie Poster Designers

    As cinephiles, we all love movie posters. The 14 designers below really, really love movie posters, creating their own interpretations for their favorite films, sometimes for money, and sometimes just for the love of the emerging art of the movie poster remakemix. Check’em out, in no particular order…


    Jeff Kleinsmith     - One of Seattle’s innovative freelance designers, also the long-time art director for Sub Pop Records.


    Tyler Stout     - Frequent Alamo Draft House event poster designer, incredible line art detail that must be seen up close to be truly appreciated.


    Ken Taylor     - Illustrator and designer from Melbourne, Australia. Does frequent work for the Alamo Draft House.


    The Silent Giants     - A designing duo out of Michigan, also a frequent Alamo Draft House contributor.


    Rafael Müller     - This Portuguese Flickr user focuses mainly on minimalist Coen Bros movie posters, but occasional dips his toes into other filmic fare.


    Marcos C     - This Spanish designer is also minimalist in style. His Moon poster could be considered spoiler material, yet represents the themes of the film perfectly.


    Dr. Monster     - Polish Flickr user Travis Pitts has a style like none-other on this list.


    Tavis Coburn     - Working out of California, Tavis was commissioned to create posters for each of 2010’s BAFTA Best Picture nominees.


    Steve Bialick     - A writer/artist/cartoonist out of New York, Steve’s “Samurai Star Wars” poster series is a true genre-bender.


    Tom Whalen     - An illustrator out of Pennsylvania and frequent Colonial Theater contributor.


    Chris Thornley     - Working out of the UK, Chris’ style has a minimalist edge, but twists common iconic elements in unique ways.


    Zoltron     - As far as I can tell this Fantastic Mr. Fox poster is the only movie-related poster the California based design company has produced, but it’s so fantastically detailed it must be highlighted.


    Ibrahim Youssef     - Already “Internet Famous” to some extent for his Quentin Tarantino poster creations, Ibrahim just recently released a second series focusing on the works of Wes Anderson.


    Brandon Schaefer     - A graphic designer out of Massachusetts, Brandon is one of the few on this list who’s not afraid to throw a film’s original color palette right out of the window when creating his posters.

  9. Poster of the Moment - I can’t vouch for the quality of TIME ZERO: The Last Year of Polaroid, a documentary on the last year of manufacturing of Polaroid’s quick-developing film format - but I can say they are sporting one of the prettiest, most eye-catching posters I’ve seen in quite some time.
