New Posters.  |  7 Comments

It’s been a while since I pumped out some new work. I’ve been working on these four posters for the past two months and I’ve finally been able to silence the Obsessive compulsive designer voice in my head and settle on Final renditions for each film. The Three films I chose to do are Scarface, The Big Lebowski & Inception. Speaking of Inception, if you haven’t seen it yet, go now. It is simply one of the best films I have seen in a long time, intricate intelligent plot, great acting, fast pace, superb action and suspense right up until the last second of the film.

Christopher Nolan surely has done a great job with this one, I’m sure it will be a classic right away, it reminds me of the Matrix when that first came out, nothing was like it, a truly original concept (before the Wachowski brothers messed it up). For those wondering about the rest of the Wes Anderson film series, I’ve put that on hold for a while, but eventually it will be completed, sign up to the newsletter to stay updated. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new film posters, they are also available in limited edition prints in various sizes, you can get yours at my shop here.

Seriously spot on. These speak volumes more about all these films than any of their official posters do, I think. Floored by how subtle and utterly smart the Inception one is!

Dude, way to go! The Inception and Scarface designs are absolutely brilliant! The Lebowski ones, I feel are cool, but dont capture the core essence of the film the way your other posters do.

If I’m going to really try and nitpick your inception design, I would’ve suggested making the maze continue until beyond the edges of the poster! Putting us right in the middle of these labyrinth head-mazes, with no clear idea of where the exit could possibly be!

Really slick designs though, man. Kudos big time!

Thanks Mo, yeah I actually thought of that, and was about to try it out, but found it would be to crowded and wouldn’t give the movie title any clout.

Thanks for the good vibes.
