Small, Grand Works

Jan Młodożeniec was a world-famous poster designer from Poland. His incredible career as a designer spanned decades, and he is one of the “founding fathers” of the Polish school of posters. His achievements in designing film posters over the years made way for him to do work for movies such as Once Upon a Time in America, and The Conformist.

Currently, the Film Museum in Lodz, Poland, is hosting an exciting exhibition of Jan’s work of posters. More than 100 original film posters are being shown between the months of April – July 2017 at this great museum. Some of the oldest works date back to the 1950’s. The second part of this exhibition will feature work designed by Jan’s sons, representing the next generation of artists. This exhibition is a great opportunity for the public to experience the beauty of film poster in person and to gain an understanding of how it has evolved through the designs of Jan Młodożeniec over the years.

Poster Monday: Whiplash

This week’s Poster Monday belongs to designer Elmer Sosa from México for his “Whiplash” poster design.

This poster was thought in the first instance as an illustration to accompany a critical text about the film. The central concept poster is based on the subtitle of the film “Music and Obsession”. The grand prize of being the best despite the pain and the physical, psychological and even psychological damage protagonist.

A first concept, “PAIN” represented graphically by a barbed wire and attached to a second concept, “MUSIC” represented by the drumstick is resumed; a metaphor where the same drumsticks are transformed into a barbed wire, against the background of a black color and the title of the film “WHIPLASH” with special treatment to refer blood is generated.

Drumsticks-spikes blood is clean because the pain, obsession and rage that shows the protagonist, is a hidden, at least in the first part of the film feeling.

Elmer Sosa was born in Puebla, México and It is influenced by the texts of Saramago, and the art of Fukuda, Drewinsky, Chaika, Jis, Boligán and Arbelo, openly professes his love for Arial, firmly think someday live only from illustration and fight daily for it.

BAFTA 2015 Movie Posters

Illustrator Malika Favre, together with the British creative agency Human After All, created an illustrative campaign for the BAFTA  (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) 2015 Awards. This coherent series of posters showcases the main movies appearing in the competition: The Grand Budapest Hotel, Boyhood, The Imitation Game, Birdman and The Theory of Everything.

Plakiat: Alternate movie posters

Plakiat: Alternate movie posters

Movie posters are a popular and important branch of poster design. On the Web we can find lists of best contemporary posters as well as pages with older, classic posters. And finally, from time to time, we find series of alternative designs that people have created for their favourite films. In the past we’ve shown you some of these projects on our site and we’re always on the hunt for new and exciting examples to share with you.

Our latest movie poster discovery is Plakiat – series of alternate movie posters created by Maks Bereski. For him posters are a form of visual stories about movies watched by him, and good excuse to talk about cinema. His collection grows constantly, as new movies appear on the screen. You can check complete poster series on Plakiat Facebook page and on his blog.

Why do you think creating of alternate movie posters is becoming more and more popular? Is it a kind of visual commentary for the movie created by poster designers? Or maybe some longing for minimal / old fashion / artistic movie posters, in opposition to the contemporary movie posters we see on the streets? Let us know what you think in comment below!
