I collect movie posters. I am in love with movies and these allow me to capture an artistic glimpse of these movies I might not have seen before. I like that when you look at them, you can immediately begin to replay scenes in you head if you have seen these movies. These posters all show an artistic rendering of the movie itself and aims to make the viewer want to see or feel something for the movie. Yes, most of these are all real movie posters that would be in the display cases outside the theaters. Gone with the Wind, Jurassic Park, and Starship Troopers are reprints. Interesting fact for someone who has never seen or held an original poster, they are all double side printed and come in a size of 40 x 37 inches. Framing is difficult. Some of these are mini posters used to promote these films in areas without the cases in front of theaters. For example, Avengers, MIB3, and How to Train Your Dragon. The rest are original prints in the 40"x37" format. Enjoy!

Gone With the Wind. A Classic! This movie poster uses a portraiture approach in that it was created in the style of pre-technological advancements. There is careful consideration in what makes the cut to be on the poster in order to spark thoughts about the movie and to make you want to see it. These posters are a visual scene from the movie that should be representational of the movie itself.

Bourne Legacy. This poster in particular is very much art. The slats that overlay the scene distort the image but still create a thought provoking image. Rather than provide a clear image, this one is cleverly laid out in pieces that activates the mind.

Picture
Starship Troopers. If anyone has seen this movie then you understand that this is an artistic version of sci-fi. Some of the scenes in this movie and the special effects are slightly lacking and make the movie seem like it was made on a very low budget. Again, this picture is supposed to make you want to see it and represents the story in a single image. If you haven't seen this movie you should watch it. The first one is good the other two, not so much.

Picture
The Grinch! Based on an illustrated children's story. This is simply a new rendition of those drawings. Its a mixing of present media with past subject matter. That makes this a multi-media poster.

Picture
The Proposal. Great Movie. Simplistic poster. Simply conveys that this may not be a proposal that he is thrilled with.

Picture
This one is similar to the Bourne Legacy in that it uses the slat structure. However, this one provides several different scenes and multiple characters. This image is art because of the use of dynamic color and story telling. 

Picture
The Iron Fist is made by cult legend Tarantino! I didn't actually see this one but the art work in the fan to represent the characters and the story really remind me of collage work!!!

Picture
The Avengers. It's art. It's based on a comic.

Picture
Jurassic Park. Another Classic! Also my current employer. Simple use of contrasting colors and logo recognition.

Picture
MIB3. This is amazing. It is designed to play with the eye like magic eye. That's kinda like what some art is meant to do.

Picture
The Hunger Games. Clever use of logo and fire. Also contrasting colors.

Picture
How to Train Your Dragon. An animated film.

Picture
Music and Lyrics. Uses posters within posters. A meta advertisement.

Picture
Finding Nemo. Also Animated. 

Picture
The Queen With Helen Mirren. Kinda looks like a portrait.
