casa de mi padre posted:This is a pretty reasonable substitute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8faq5amdK30 Fixed that for you. I think that's why I dislike his posters, it looks like someone cut out stuff from a bunch of stills from the movie and ran it through a filter. Even those weird lines all over everyone's faces feels more like a vector algorithm making GBS threads itself as it tries to deal with a gradient rather than anything actually artistic.

You know, the reservoirs dogs poster is a tiny bit better,but still bad, only because I can see the shapes of people in there, and all the tiny lines don't distract me from the central elements. The others ones? Ugh. Everything,everywhere!!

Have any of you guys ever seen a Tyler Stout poster in real life? Didn't think so. They're not designed to be viewed as 600 x 400 jpgs on a webpage, shocking as that may be.

The concept of a movie poster just being "Look at all this poo poo that was in the movie! Radical! Look!" is the same no matter how big or small the poster is

Is there really a need to be so hyperbolic? Clearly an awful lot of people like his art style and think the posters he creates are very good but apparently they're absolute garbage and I should throw mine in the trash.

You're taking this very personally. Some people just don't like his style, I think it looks awful personally, overly-busy and clearly traced, but hey, if you like it and own one then good on you.

I'd say it's hit and miss. The colours in Big Trouble are great but the faces do seem over drawn. The Thing is just way to busy, but that same crowded look works well for his Tarantino stuff I think.

Yeah, that's what I said. That's who I am. The fact-bearer. I inly dispense truths. No opinions here. Don't be such a baby. You asked if people had seen a Stout poster in person, I had, I gave my opinion of the poster I saw. Lizard Combatant posted:I'd say it's hit and miss.

It's a style that only ever works by happenstance, ignoring the aesthetic concerns, it's always the same composition and design for movies that are wildly different.

True, but I don't think those that benefit from the style are weakened by those that don't. Who did this fantastic Gremlins poster? It's a similar style but better execution. e: Ken Taylor, Google is my friend. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Nov 20, 2012 |

Can you find the tiny Vader? And you can even have a lot of stuff in your poster and still make it work! Here is an example to cleanse your palate.

Like those minimalist posters that have a vector drawing of a coffee cup or a pencil or something and 90% of the people who are fans of the goddamn movie can't figure out what it's supposed to mean. But really since these posters are being sold as art objects there should be some attempt to actually create good compositions. Something that's appealing to look at in itself. Olly Moss isn't exactly setting the world on fire with innovative design but they're pretty good compositions while still working within "gotta make this appealing to nerds" limits. I really wish I could own the Star Wars and ESB ones without the character outlines.

Oh, those are good. The Empire/Boba Fett one's my favorite, but they're all good (although I think they're reaching a bit with sketching Vader's mask out of tree branches). I don't like how all three use different logos for the films, though.Could do with some standardization there.

# ? Nov 20, 2012 04:51 |

He's basically using the original logos from the original posters. I like things like that with fan/alternative posters, makes it feel more authentic. And the logos are kind of iconic in their own way.

Those Olly Moss Star Wars posters are good. They aren't Earth shattering or anything, but they're pleasant to look at. I find Tyler Stout's posters to be ugly and almost offensive to look at. Whenever I see minimalist fan posters all I can think about is that one for "Heat" with the two coffee cups. I kept thinking "Are those paddles? Frying pans?" until someone pointed out what it actually was. There are some cool minimalist posters out there but the vast majority of them crap.

I like Tyler Stout's posters because it reminds me of an idealized version of someone scribbling stuff on their junior high notepad; there's barely any consistency in placement or style, more and more stuff seems to be getting added almost as an afterthought and it's just kind of colored in with red and black, the two most likely colors of pen you'd have in your backpack or whatever. I actually find it really charming and cool. It's obviously over-wrought and over-lined on purpose. And I have a degree in graphic design so I'm automatically in the right
