Painted or Printed.?
« on: December 31, 2010, 07:25:26 AM »
Which do you prefer?
From my childhood memory i seem to recall that any movie poster released usually had a wonderfully produced hand painted image,and then at some point(the rough date im not sure of) things changed.
Modern printing methods brought us pin sharp,generic "still" images that seem to dominate todays posters.
I for one prefer the painted images but that could be just my age showing..am i just sentimental??

I really don't care for the Photoshopped/CGed posters of today.  With few exceptions, they tend to look dull and boring.  Studios have fallen in love with this trend and there's just too much of it to the point of over-saturation.  For me, it's not so much the artistic approach (painted, silkscreen, photographs, Photshop - I like examples of each) as it is creativity and originality

Virtually my whole collection consists of posters with images of solely hand drawn art. Posters containing photos or CGI art doesnt get a look in, apart for some mexican lobby cards which have art with the photo.

There is something about hand drawn that fires the imagination,maybe ive read too many Commando graphic novels as a kid.....

Painted, absolutely.
Though I also do admire and collect the CGI art posters of today.
Some of them are extremely dramatic.

No contest, it has to be Painted. I don't mind the other type, but it has to be a film I like or something really special.

Since I am mainly collecting Japanese posters, I am a big fan of (well-done) photocollages.
