On one hand, gently caress this guy for basically being a Mondo stan, but on the other hand, that Back to the Future II and Drew Struzan Frankenstein print are pretty cool.

Couple of new Mondo posters for two Malick films





Wanted to like the Days of Heaven poster because I absolutely love the movie, but that is doing nothing for me. Heavy-handed and slightly cartoonish.

This is what I thought it was for too. But then I realized it was for Back to the Future, and then I spent like a minute or two looking for the "to" in the title. What a terrible poster.

I found the "to" no problem, but the "the" eluded me.

It's so bizarre how so many Mondo posters get so much right, but then bungle some detail that makes it a total turnoff. If that BttF poster just had Cafe 80s on the sign and no title it'd be on my wall right now, especially if there were a version without credits.

Yeah, it's almost always the case of doing one twist too many or loving that one thing really bad. The catch is that it's not the same thing to everybody so overall overdesign is the actual culprit. They hire some cool illustrators but it's like they go into this 200% mode to prove their worth and overdo it.

EDIT: Like their current The Incal poster. It's made to copy Moebius's style which is fine even in going into this insane detail because Moebius did illustrations like that as well. However the most important character from the comic book - Difool - has his face drawn in a way that completely ruins it. It's botched and doesn't have the 3D depth that the original artist was known for which destroys the illusion. It should just be redrawn and if I bought that poster I'd be always thinking about that. I know that I'm nitpicking but when the focus of the illustration is the accumulation of neat little details and characters then a vital one like that is a deal breaker to me.

My eye is naturally drawn to the right of "back" as that's how I normally read: left to right. I don't read diagonally upward. In that poster, the instinct to continue right is also heavily emphasized since the color shifts from the shades of teal/blue to the muted/creamsicle-esque orange; it makes for a recognizable contrast that I'm more inclined to look at. I saw "the" before "to" because of that contrast. It's bad design/hierarchy imo.

[edit] The color variant of the same poster handles the titling and color hierarchy better. The pink stands out a lot more against all the blues and draws my attention a lot better looking left to right.

I don't like a lot of Mondo/"minimalist"/fan posters because they are often just an abstract of a major scene from the movie that's meaningless to someone who hasn't seen it.

NEWT REBORN

This is actually garbage composition, seemingly designed not to draw your eye to anything. Is the subject the glowing red man, dead-center in the frame? Those figures stand out because they're pasted in overtop of the ripply air effect, and don't even have reflections. Seriously look at that poo poo.

It's like the stupid 'I Spy' search for the title extends to everything else in the picture: Did you spot the sports almanac hidden in the puddle? Did you spot the famous car? Did you spot the word 'to'? Did you spot Christopher Lloyd?

Let's get some actual Syd Mead in here:



Do you see where the car is in this loving picture?
