POSTER GALLERY 1
May 17th 2007 01:50
I’m a huge fan of stylish and imaginative graphic art; the clever use of imagery taken from the movie (or in some cases shot specifically for the poster) and manipulated into something striking, even different, the inventive use of lettering and fonts, and not forgetting the indelible tagline.
Here is the first selection of movie posters (in an ongoing gallery series) that for me conjure up the high art or deep trash essence of the movie itself, or in some way capture a potent element of terror or horror, otherwise missing or less obvious in the actual movie.

I personally love the poster for "Hard Candy". Subtle but devious!

yeah, that Hard Candy artwork is inspired!
Melissa,
the poster is pure design, as the image is not from the movie and she doesn't kill five men and she doesn't burn or break them either ... The movie is actually rather reprehensible ... not a pleasant film at all. Still, it's notoriety is notorious.
JD,
yeah, it might appear a lazy post, but I thoroughly enjoyed posting it. Probably once a month I reckon.
