Why do film posters always seem to have the names above the wrong people? It basically boils down to this most of the time: The top billed star is first name on the left but the central, focal point of the poster. Other actors in the billing are then (possibly) included on the poster based on the designer’s choice. I found this answer on Quora, just a little bit crazy. I always assumed they were designed by people who never watched movies.
In terms of conciseness I thought the poster for Nil by Mouth was on point. Ray Winstone's boat, a ambiguous expression of possibly rage or ecstasy, captures the dilemma of the lead character. Fucking good film too.
Can someone please just tell me how I can recreate the gradient/glow effect surrounding the silhouette on the Friday The 13th (1980) movie poster in a digital painting? I am trying to make a tribute/parody image.
I'm not sure, but it's probably designed by Saul Bass. I design posters and enjoy the challenge of balancing the text with a compelling image. It should never be words with an image slapped on it - or an image that takes over with the text seeming like an afterthought. Best wishes from Vermont! ❄️💙❄️
Sooo many to choose from! But recently, I like 'TÁR, 2022, the version with arms stretched out diagonally, corner to corner. And I've never got tired of Trainspotting, 1996, totally worked with the film and target audience. I was in my mid-20's🤪
Couldn't disagree more! Just a tiny few from many: TÁR 2022, arms stretched out diagonally, corner to corner The Martian 2015, Matt side on, with the circle behind The Joker 2019, screaming in a city street I Care A Alot 2020, RED TINT HEAD WITH LARGE TEXT OVER IT Resurrection 2022, vertical red stripes Old Man 2022 BW face with red down middle Darkest Hour 2017, with red at top of background Peter von Kant 2022, blue with dash of red Final Destination 5 2023, with a big metallic number 5 going thru a skull They're all easily found needles. (included description as they often have different versions, some not so interesting...)

What are everyone's favourite poster designs?
Cloud Atlas triptych by Paul Shipper.
The Holy Mountain posters.

The good ol days of drew struzan are long gone. Still see some great theatrical poster art but it’s a needle in haystack at this point.

So many have a man in early middle age clutching a gun at thigh level, looking intent whilst moving at speed.
Why?
