But the cemetery motif in the film is about Miller's grave. Having seen the film - and these loving posters only work after you've seen the film - I immediately think some crazy joyriding kids stole Tom Hanks's tombstone.

Probably something by Piet Mondrian. http://www.art.com/gallery/id--a7/piet-mondrian-posters.htm?ui=183D2FC6AFA544A9836E825D40BB6BD7 He doesn't do movie posters, though.

The pedant in me says that the classic posters for Alien and The Man with the Golden Arm are minimalist works, but in terms of fan-made stuff, some of the Olly Moss stuff that sparked this fire isn't bad, like his Great Dictator cover. He doesn't just put some cheap filter over a picture of a pair of loving glasses or a goddamn battery and call it a day, he at his best tries to hit something that gets the mood and look of the film.

The gently caress is this poo poo. What does Jaws have to do with The Great Wave off Kanagawa? Why is the composition so terrible? Who thought this was a good idea? Wubbles posted:This thread spends (well) a lot of time mocking bad minimalist posters. Does anyone know examples of good minimalist posters? Depends on what you mean. If you're talking about the design fad (solid colors, simple shapes, stupid metaphor, and paper filter) then no. If you're talking about minimalism as a design philosophy, then sure. Though it depends on how you minimalist you want it. The original Akira poster could be considered minimalist, in that it removes any unnecessary detail and just focuses on a couple of simple objects.  This poster for The Man With The Iron Fists, on the other hand, embraces the Japanese influence on minimalism and gives a large amount of detail to a small number of objects.  Of course, I could just be talking out my rear end. Somebody who has actually studied minimalism could probably answer your question better. I'm just a dude who likes creative poster designs and hate this loving fad.

I'd say this qualifies as a minimalist poster and at the same time it's an excellent one for a variety of reasons. Bonus points for a really nice tagline as well:

Like how could you live in a world where the real JP poster exists, and buy that one above. How. It's not even a question, because there's no answer.

The colors are so perfect. The orange color of "safety" gear trying vainly to encircle a blood red moon/sun that illuminates the skeletons of beasts from yesteryear. Perfect.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I don't know why these lovely rear end posters make me so angry. Probably 'cause all these movies already have perfectly good posters, combined with the fact that all these minimalist posters are in-jokes that nobody who hasn't seen the movie already will get. They're also really loving lazy. A few shapes, a crumbled paper texture, 20 mins in Photoshop and VOILA I'M AN ARTIST

Bonus points for a really nice tagline as well: You're not wrong Lance Streetman, in that these focus only on a couple or maybe even one element or thing from the movies, but one of the differences between these three and the other lovely "minimalist" posters that get harped on in this thread is that Akira's anime-as-gently caress motorcycle, Iron Fist's iron fists, and Jurassic Park's Tyrannosaurus Rex are not all mundane everyday objects that could come from any goddamn movie ever. Hey, what's the cool part of Jaws? The scariest shark of all time? Nah, a beach umbrella! Whoa, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro are in a movie together and they're shooting at each other? Then let's show... a couple coffee mugs!

It feels like with this "minimalist" (ugh) trend, there was a wave of designers like Olly Moss who were inspired by the work of Saul Bass;  and in turn there have been a bunch of copycats "inspired" by Moss. So what we're getting is a huge flood of copies of copies, degrading in quality, artistry, and design sense, like generations of dubbed VHS tapes.

There was a site posted in this thread I think that compared scenes from different works. The one I remember most is the Trail Park Boys and Dark Knight, when the Joker sticks his head out the window and is driving, in TPB Bubble's dummy did that. Can anyone help me with a link or the right phrase to google to find this site? It was a wordpress or tumblr site.

Instead of reflecting any emotive or aesthetic properties of the films, the only thing these posters emote is self-satisfaction. "I have presented this film as fine art", says the nerd whose entire definition of fine art is apparently hamfistedly emulating Magritte by way of Saul Bass. "I have elevated it, justifying my obsessions. Let us contemplate this key prop while we sip a vintage Dew."

Not saying anything about the references, mind you, just the referencing. Oh I'm sorry, you don't get the reference? Tut tut.
