Poster comps

Just the images.  No text yet. The movies are part of a Terrence Malick festival






This one's The Thin Red Line.  It's a war movie.




This is Days of Heaven.  It's about sharecroppers and Richard Gere. Locust make a cameo too.
















This is for Badlands.  It's about young lovers who go on a killing spree.  Martin Sheen combs his hair like James Dean.

Movie Poster Research







The first two links are a poster series by designer Olly Moss.  Link one has a bunch of posters he did for a recent event where movies were screened in the cities they were filmed (eg Detroit for Robocop and Philly for Rocky) and the second link are the poster designs he did that got him in the spotlight.  I've always liked these, but for breadth's sake, I'm posting other posters too.

This is a blog post about orange and blue


http://www.slashfilm.com/orangeblue-contrast-in-movie-posters/
It’s becoming a rather noticeable trend in  key art, the orange and blue color scheme.  Not too surprising –it’s a good looking color combo, being complimentary and all– but once you notice it, it’s certainly interesting, if not a little cliché.

logo revision (holy cr*p you could tell what it is now!)

Olympic collateral (minus the business cards because I'm really dumb)

Dir1: The idea is that this version'll be printed on papyrus, as a sort of reference to the papyrus used in ancient Egypt.  The texture of the paper was a little dark though, so I lightened it up a little,  it *might* be hard to see on the screen as a result.
  
Dir2: This is just a design utilizing all the Pantones of the logo, with a baseline under the obelisk to form a sort of ground level that the obelisk would be sitting on. 


Dir3: This direction is meant to be pretty minimal.  I didn't want anything competing with the logo done in GOLD LEAF(!!!) (but really I think it's just a foil).  I have no idea how to print this, but I know Vanity Fair did it in their Oscar edition so I know it's doable en masse.
