Minimal Posters

I was fortunate enough to be informed of a blog out there that allows people to post their twist on movie posters. http://minimalmovieposters.tumblr.com/

Using the most minimal imagery, these designers put a refreshing spin on the oh-so typical formats of some movie posters out there. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
In my realization of how cool this idea was, I decided to take my turn at it. Originally I had grabbed my sketchbook and sat in front of my DVD collection to get inspired. I got to the computer and one thing led to another. I have a few favorites of the ones that I have completed, and others that I feel need more attention. However, for the sake of substance in this blog, I opted to post all the posters I completed one late night, not so long ago.
The trickiest part, I found, is to capture an entire movie in little detail. I took a lot of reference from the original posters or DVD covers and just simplified them further. Let me know what you think.
