Less is more

I absolutely love minimal movie posters! I can’t stress enough how I enjoy the simplicity and minimalism because I always think “less is more” is not just something people say, I believe it works. So when I discovered Minimal Movie Posters a while back I became obsessed. There are many favorites, two by Daniel Norris but here are just some I found and thought were pretty great. I especially like the Lost in Translation one, for some reason it works so well but Deep Throat is clever too. Ah, who am I kidding, they are all amazing!

These are very cool indeed, I love this style of poster. Some of them look very much like the work of British artist Olly Moss. You should check out some of his work too, it’s great.

  Lovely! I’ve seen his work but now I have a name for his work. Thanks! I should do poster posts more often, I bet there’s lots of more great things out there.

Love the one for Prometheus. Minimal Movie posters are fantastic I made few myself but they are not half as good as what is out there.

Ooh, I may just have to steal some of these for my Facebook page. Love minimalist posters, and these are all quite good.

  Not stealing if you credit them, I think .. I should find the link for those dark ones, I think it was Daniel Norris.. http://danielnorris.tumblr.com/. I don’t know why I didn’t add him there, I should. Doing it now.

    There’s some pretty good ones in there. I actually used the Lost in Translation one on my Facebook yesterday and no one’s guessed it yet.

      I could go and guess it but I think it is called cheating.

[…] that’s what I think. I’ve already expressed my love for minimal/alternative posters, couple of times, so I thought why not do it again! So here are some alternative, and original posters, that stand […]
