I don't like any of them  Except the Ghostbusters one, which is absolutely gorgeous but I'd never have guessed what movie it was supposed to be without the title.

Okay, that is hilarious. I mean, it's probably relates to the content for the movie (I haven't watch it), but a poster of happy smiling cartoon forest critters is hilarious when you know what the movie is infamous for.

I love the ET one. Mainly because of that sunset shot during Halloween is gorgeous. The rest not so much.

Yeah, I was on the fence about the Jurassic Park one; I think I'll take it off the list. I found this BTTF one, which I kind of like better:

What are people's reasons for not liking the minimalist Jurassic Park poster? I'm really taken by it and wondered what the main issues with it were.

It kinda feels like somebody took the actual Jurassic Park logo, then arbitrarily said "this needs to look about 34% more hipsterish". I don't have a raging vendetta against that aesthetic like some people do, but it's just so unnecessary here. Just the original logo on a black background would be better in every way. The E.T. one is good, but I don't like the color scheme. It seems unnecessarily bleak and doesn't capture the magical feel of the movie at all. Needs more blue.

It looks like an inferior rehash of the original JP logo / poster design.   They have simplified / traced the original T Rex skeleton, making it sloppier and more as if it was generated on a computer. Then they've removed the iconic title treatment and instead opted for that 'hand drawn' tooth lettering, which has been poorly executed; look at how the letters get more cramped, squished and illegible the further along 'jurassic' you get. The bottom tow of teeth is incomplete and makes it look like the T Rex had dentures. On top of this, what is the text placement over the teeth really adding to the poster? I don't know about you, but in my mind one of the coolest features of the T Rex are those huge teeth. Why make them look goofy like that when the reality of their anatomy is so much better looking? It's just minimalist for the sake of it, which is extra silly when you look at the original poster and realise that is pretty minimal to begin with.

Thank you both, I understand a lot better now that you've brought up these points. I didn't see it before but I just sort of glossed over it and thought it was neat. You are both right that the original colour scheme and teeth for the title are bad changes. Seeing the original logo again reminds me of just how excellent a poster it is. It doesn't need stupid floating heads or the actors. Just the skeleton and the promise of things to come.

Here's a teaser poster for the first live-action movie from Zemeckis in twelve years. I like it, even though that image has been done before.

Having (almost) everything crammed at the top actually makes me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why, it just seems to closed in, maybe that's the point. The title looks like it is slightly too high on the poster, which could be doing it too. I have no clue what the movie is really about though.

Yeah that's what I like about it, it's overwhelmingly vertical. The gradient helps too. I feel like I'm in a hot air balloon when I look at it. And then when I focus in on the title, which is very w i d e, I get a slight rush of expansion. I don't know what the movie's about and what the tone even is, but that poster is evocative as hell.

Love that poster! Hate Zemeckis I too love how vertical it is, and because of this massive amount of blank space it'll catch the eyes of passerby in a busy environment, I think.

My thought is that a poster+title should give some indication of whether or not your movie is even fictional or not, never mind the plot or genre. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a documentary on the history of flight with Washington narrating.

That's not a bad poster and the movie looks alright. At the very least Denzel is always interesting to watch.

I will be very disappointed if there isn't a scene in that movie where Denzel is sitting at a table across from someone, both men laughing, and then Denzel gets real serious and knocks a cup of coffee or water off the table and stops laughing.

It's weird seeing a poster like that on a computer screen instead of in person. In person, I would have probably started from the bottom and looked up, but on a computer, I'm scrolling down past the title into a big, empty blue field. I figure internet forums are too small of a market for most marketers to notice, but I wonder if some posters are designed with the internet in mind.

There are the moving posters* and we're starting to see trailers launched online more and more. *http://www.impawards.com/2010/other_guys_motion.html Also, End of Watch poster.  I actually quite like this one, although I'm sure some people will object to the use of flare in it. It's fairly clear what they're going for and it makes it seem like the two officers are looking towards the danger coming their way. The blinged up AK, which was also in the trailer, suggests that they're going to adjust their ways to be smarter and more practical when fighting for their lives against the Cartel, and that they won't be going "by the book." Cliché yes, but at the same time, it's a simple and effective way to get the tone and content of the film across in conjunction with the trailer. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Jun 8, 2012 |
