I enjoy seeing your choices too, but maybe your thread should have been had a 'My' at the start of it.
whether the list is subjective or not is part of this thread and I agree it should be titled "my favorite posters of 2017" or something like that, there are really many posters that just suck for design and artistic quality. The second poster for Suburbia is so ugly, but the first one is cliche, as that design of red/white or red/white/black etc is an overused nothing of a design. The worst thing about some of these posters is that they show how lacking the designers are in original concepts, but it also shows how the promotional team involved lacks any artistic understanding themselves and could not possibly bring out the best in the artists and therefore, original and attractive promotional campaigns. As a result, real artists are stifled by the lack of values, which is of course why the best poster designs (by percentage of material produced) are not actual movie posters, but the art print versions of posters that the Mondo variety produce, in which the artists are clearly given free reign to let their creativity flow
(note, I do not think that all such prints are without critique. Too often, while the art itself is of high quality, the designs are boring, the scenes are not truly representative of the film or valued promotional techniques)
Of course, I actually come from the art world and look at all of these pieces from a particular viewpoint that I don't expect everyone to understand. So I'm looking to art values and I don't see art values in more of the posters shown in this thread than I do see art value. Part of it is the audience of course, because advertising today is frequently done with a focus towards a dumbed-down film goer, as well as the fact that posters in general are a dying art in the professional field, driven by photographic head shots rather than innovative narrative techniques, something that has been spoken about numerous times on this board, in dozens of threads since the forum was started.
and to be sure, I like seeing the posters regardless. It's the titling that fakes the content
and by the way Mel, your comment reply is just stupid.
