Grid Movie Posters

In recent years we have seen plenty of minimalistic poster series for film enthusiasts. What is so interesting about Michal Krasnopolski´s contribution to the subject? His 30 posters are all based on a very simple grid template: a circle and two diagonals inscribed in a square. Therefore, we could say these are the most minimal of minimalist film posters designed recently. In Michal´s words:

“It surprised me how many posters I could create based on this very simple approach. There´s an enormous strenght in simplicity; the fewer elements, the more we engage our imagination”

Check out a grid comparison video and more of his poster and design work here.

Konfrontace Poster Catalogue

Today we would like to recommend a book: Konfrontace (Confrontation) the accompanying catalogue of the poster exhibition resulting from the collaboration of Terry Posters (Prague) and the Lodz Museum of Cinematography in 2010.

“We have chosen a simple key to arrange the posters, setting up 42 pairs created by accomplished Polish and Czechoslovak designers for the same movie. Both variants are placed next to each other, enabling the viewer to compare the two approaches and illuminating the differences as well as similarities between the two schools…  In addition to the posters presented at the exhibition, this volume offers 32 more pairs. Altogether the viewer will be able to take in and compare more than 150 posters…”  Pavel Rajcan

The catalogue features work by some of the most accomplished designers, such as Roman Cieslewicz, Wictor Górka, Jan Lenica, Franciszek Starowieyski (Poland) as well as Milan Grygar, Karel Teissig, Karel Vaca, Josef Vyletal (Czechoslovakia), to name a few. For anyone interested in poster design and film history, this book is a must have.

Elegant & Minimalist Swiss-Style Posters Of Iconic Films

The graphic design website Swiss Style Design has published a collection of elegant and minimalist posters of iconic films. The posters are designed in the vein of the International Typographic Style, also known as the Swiss Style, a graphic design style that originated in Switzerland in the 1950s that emphasizes “cleanliness, readability and objectivity.” Characteristics of these posters include “asymmetric layouts, use of a grid, sans-serif typefaces like Akzidenz Grotesk, and flush left, ragged right text.” Some of the reinterpreted posters include classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Reservoir Dogs and Taxi Driver.
