A growing trend, online, is designers minimally re-imagining movie posters and I love it. Often times, inspired by the work of Saul Bass, where the layout relies heavily on ample white space, dramatic typography and minimal images, these poster designs can be clever works of art.
Today, I want to share some of my favorites, in no particular order.
If you are into this trend, as much as I am, you should definitely check out the Minimal Movie Posters tumblog.
An exploration of transcendence. Heart, directed by Erick Oh, presents questions through abstract metaphors and symbols, illustrated by the human heart.
Recently, I traversed the web searching for a particular product and was told, by a pretty large retail chain’s search input, that they had that product available at one of their stores in my vicinity. And, not only did they have it in the store, they had at least five available on-site. Score!
Sounds good so far, right? Well, unfortunately everything goes downhill from here. Long story short, I went to that store’s location, and after searching high and low for the product, was told by their in-store customer service representatives (I use that term loosely) that the product was not available at their location. After informing them that their website stated that it was in stock in their store, they responded that, sometimes the site can be wrong. Really? I was then told that I should check another store… Myself. No one offered to do it for me and no one offered to call another one of their many locations on my behalf.
Got a quick question about the theme? If I can answer in 140 characters or less go ahead and ask away!
Just tweet me at @scubeco and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Don’t panic if I don’t respond quickly; I’m likely watching a movie or sinking my teeth into a juicy burger.
As creatives, we often mistakenly place aesthetics above rationale— a practice that is far too prevalent in this digital age of design.
We become consumed by the how to execute a concept while overlooking the reasoning behind said concept. Our 140 character, get the client to sign off quickly, impress our peers dribbblin’ design community has placed a disproportionate emphasis on software mastery. Somewhere along the line, finely detailed pixel renderings became fundamental. But what happened to logic and assertion? Is how really more important that why?
