    Movie posters might be shite these days… (I mean, have a look at your local cinema… would you honesty put that up on your wall) but it’s nice to see movie poster designers All City Media [allcitymedia.com] are not letting it get them down and putting those high quality yet rejected designs online so we can start to imagine a world free from unimaginative marketing directors and associated killjoys. Found via Danny Grey’s excellent blog [binkythedoormat.com] where he’s been getting stuck into the problems with modern movie poster design lately. I blame Adobe for encouraging people to design in Photoshop. It’s for messing about with photos not designing stuff, you dolts. The clues in the name (er… no, I don’t know why it’s a shop either).

    Cheers for the link Michael!

    I think this is an interesting time for film artwork, with it having to work across different media (iTunes, various trailer sites) as well as in print, catching up with the cross-platform nature of music artwork. Hopefully others will follow where All City have led, taking us away from the increasingly generic style coming out of Hollywood and clogging up our tube stations.

    Daniel: I still think Hollywood is just being lazy, relying too heavily on marketing bods to make design decisions when they should be listening to their graphic designers (and I’m not talking photoshop monkeys).

    Sam: Well, Schucks, just telling it like it is. You can thank Danny for posting that alternative poster for Moon. It’s lush. Please keep pushing it.
