A movie poster is an important aspects of the film industry as they are used as advertisements for certain movies. Most are designed to relay helpful information to potential moviegoers and feature information such as the film's release date, tag line, and photos of the lead actors. Awesome movie posters that look like art are out there as well, these works are known for favoring aesthetically pleasing graphics and unique layouts over generic photos and information.
The illustrators or designers of original movie posters, in most cases, are not identified on them but there are a few who are actually well known in the industry for their work. A popular designer of posters in the fifties and forties was Reynold Brown. His pieces were known for their mixture of vintage and minimalist looks. His theatrical poster for The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, one of his best, is arguably one of the most beloved poster in the world.
The theatrical release poster for the 2005 film Walk the Line is another fan favorite. Designed by the contemporary graphic artist Shepard Fairey, the piece features warm colors and a simple yet iconic image of the movie's subject, Johnny Cash. Even though it prominently features the movie's title, it could still be displayed as art in a home or office and has even been appreciated by those who have never seen the film.
Tarantino's action filled horror drama, Grindhouse was meant to look and feel a lot like a 50s low budget b-movie and its release ads were able to capture this extraordinarily well. The posters are wonderful works of art that featured vintage images and eye-popping letters. A few of them were even created to have the appearance of wrinkles over their surfaces, so that they would give viewers the impression that they had been folded.
People who are interested in obtaining awesome movie posters that look like art would probably be very pleased with almost all of them designed before the 1960s. Older theatrical posters tended to be either drawn or painted, due to computer graphic programs being unavailable.
The works usually tend to spot on examples of minimalist art, which helps let them be appreciated by themselves instead of being seen as extensions of the films they're promoting.
A great example of this is the promotional ad for Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, The Birds. In it, a big bird feather is featured in the middle with the film's title listed inside it in thick black letters. On either side of the feather is not a thing but a plain deep red backdrop. The director's films were slightly famous for having ads with minimal themes. His late fifties work, Vertigo had a simple spiral design in front of a simple backdrop which was nearly the same color of rich red.
In a lot of cases, the business where a film is playing is allowed to create and display their own ad for it. That was definitely the case in mid 2000 with the popular remake of a motion picture from the sixties. When a popular Drafthouse in central Texas played the film, it used a now very sought after version of the ad which was designed by the theater itself.
