I'll admit I don't mind the concept here. At least here the reference is something people know, and it does at least stick to it by, well, not talking about it.

Avril Lavigne posted:I challenge anyone to find a worse minimalist fan-made poster than this: 1. Swiss Design. Helvetica disease and attempt at sparse minimalism actually go against the intention of that movement. Swiss Design is aimed towards legibility, objectivity and simplicity. The message conveyed had to be direct as possible. Having people guess based on invented iconography and presumed association is a bad design. The Karate Kid poster looks like it's asking me to refresh something and the Back to the Future looks like a wonky golden spiral. Pro tip : You are allowed to use photos. 2. Duo tone drive in posters. The whole cut-out and blow up style for small-town cinema chains is appealing because people can see the rough and ready nature and figure out how to replicate it with little hassle. They were popular style of their time for being cheap and quick to manufacture and I suppose evoke the era where film was shifting away from studio control. I suppose giving it a worn look is supposed to suggest age and respectability and in a sense try and steer away from the overly crisp and polished modern day posters. But it's a very cheap way to add "charm". BogDew fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Feb 1, 2013 |

So I was looking for minimalist Miyazaki posters to feed the goon hate machine, when I found this: http://www.chongweikk.com/2012/02/12-reinvented-visual-arts-for-miyazakis.html   I like, I like.

Some of the facial expressions in those are a bit unnerving, but for the most part, those are fantastic and I need to own that Spirited Away one.

It shows the path the plot takes. They start out in 1985, go to 2015, then to the alternate 1985, and finally end up in 1955.

I made a couple minimalist posters in about 2 minutes a piece (the longest part was learning how to do that stupid paper effect):  Should've used Helvetica. Hindsight is 20/20. Those Miyazaki posters are wonderful, though, even if I'm a little put off by seeing the characters more... realisitically stylized.

I give it half a point because not only is that the coffee scene where De Niro and Al Pacino get chummy and have coffee together, the poster also portrays the final gunfight between their characters. Ever play an old video game where your tank or soldier is a circle with a dot sticking out of it? That's what I see in this picture. The coffee handles are "turrets", where De Niro and Pacino are aiming with guns drawn, playing a game of cat and mouse, and the word HEAT is that white shack that separated them on the airstrip. It's not worth defending, but that's at least what I see.

As far as awful minimalist posters go, wasn't there one for Drive that had nothing but a hammer and a toothpick? That was so bad. There have been maybe one or two good posters for that movie and everything else - particularly the minimalist stuff - have been complete poo poo.

Since we were talking a week or two ago about people doing Vallejo or Franzetta "maximalist" poster to counter all the minimalist fan posters, I've been thinking about doing just that. Currently, the only one I can think of is Office Space, but what would anyone else want to see as some "muscle and tits fantasy art" rendition of a movie?
