Loving these retro travel poster designs - I want to hop on a steamship and set sail! ⚓ @vintageposterart #bonvoyage
would loveeee to see you do this with album art
yesssssss definitely on the cards!
YES pls
Me tooooo
You look like I've seen you before in other comments
Yess
bass guitar is very much the graphic design of a rock band (it adds form and can either add flavour or entirely bland on purpose), I choose to believe this bc I was also a bass guitarist and am now an art director/designer
finally some love for the bass guitar
a BASSed take, you might say
nah the graphic design of a rock band is graphic design
I'm friends with a small local metal band that can't afford a separate graphic designer. Guess which member is the graphic designer of hte group (hint: it supports your statement)
Omgg! I’m a bassist and designer too! ❤
I actually work at a poster store so I was so excited to see you made this video! Im very surprised that Pulp Fiction didn't make the list, super iconic. A couple others Id mention are Vertigo, Scarface, Scream, Silence of the Lambs and Airplane. All best sellers with really amazing graphic design.
Also very happy you included princess Mononoke, that print is one of my favourites.
By poster store do you mean a store that sells movie posters or posters for decor? That sounds like such a cool place to work in
the hannah montana one shaped my life so yes
someone who gets it
The poster for "La Piscine" is a hommage to David Hockney's painting "Portrait of an Artist" (which is referenced in Bojack Horseman as well). The water looks exactly the same.
omg i was looking if somebody else had noticed it as well
besides the water, the girl's pose is also similiar to the man out of the pool from the painting
Jurassic Park, GoodFellas and The Truman Show are easily some of my favourite posters, all so recognisable and legendary.
Jurassic Park was one of the first ones that came to mind! Totally snubbed.
Like the thing poster
Im Polish and I own that muppet movie poster (i actually also have a different polish muppet movie poster as well), i love the polish school of posters and poster art in general so much. I wish more modern posters were creative.
as a Pole, it's nice to see so many good works by polish graphic designers and I love the fact that you highlighted it:) btw I think it's a cool idea for a series (you could also make a video about music album covers)
Yesss it'd make such a good series! I feel like there are so many interesting movie posters that could be included, it's also so nice that the movies were diverse and some less famous than others. Great video in any case
Creep (2014) is one of my favorite movie posters. It’s so simple, but still so menacing and terrifying. It was the sole thing that got me to watch the movie and it was very good as well. What a phenomenal movie poster.
OMG Tally Hall guy!
Some of my favorite posters are anime posters like the Princess Mononoke poster, the minimalist poster for Ghost in the Shell, and the original theatrical poster for End of Evangelion. All bangers!
Gonna add couple more to the anime shoutout list!
-Children of The Sea. I love most the posters where the characters are giant and in each corner.
-Other classics would be Satoshi Kon's movies Paprika and Perfect Blue, latter having multiple interesting posters which are all different types of haunting.
-Shinomiya Yoshitoshi's illustrated Pokemon movie posters, Coco especially is its own kind of magical.
EoE is my favourite movie poster of all time. Straight up
Can we have a version of this video but with album artworks (CD, cassette...etc) please? I really enjoyed it
yes for sureeeeeeee
Was hoping to see the poster for John Carpenter's The Thing. Its one of my favorites
the thing was very close!!!
I really like the posters for 'Army of Darkness' (1992) and 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman' (1958) but my favourite is 'Metropolis' (1927) which you mentioned. I literally cheered when you switched to it.
For anime movies, End of Evangelion's poster of Shinji and Asuka on the beach with Rei's huge decapitated head on the horizon is probably the most iconic of all, but may I bring to your attention the original Japanese theatrical release poster.
The image of the dozens of bodies floating under the water of a blood red sea, lit by the moonlight, is so eerie and dark, but with a morbid beauty too. And just raises so many questions, especially if you're going into the movie for the first time. I love it.
Lawrence of Arabia has multiple posters that are amazing. The Exorcist and Akira are worth mentioning as well.
I'm surprised the poster for The Handmaiden didn't make the list! I've seen praise about how much it gives away without actually spoiling anything, and it does so in such a clever and dynamic way. The hand interactions show the relationship between each set of characters, and the gloves indicate their separation in status (wealthy vs. poor) as well as their personal restraints/secret desires/hidden agendas. The movie itself is a masterpiece well worth the watch, but the poster does such a good job as a stand-alone design piece too. Literally just the lighting and framing choices resemble a Baroque painting!!
I don't mean to geek-out in the comments lol, but "movie poster reviews through the lens of graphic design" is one of my favorite types of niche content. Thanks for the Monday inspo!
I make movie posters for a frickin living now 😍 so excited to watch this. Great stuff mate
that’s dope man congrats! where do you work
@@kidddshanel ArtMachine 😊 Thanks boss
@@reddish_orangeArt machine ?
cannot believe nobody mentioned the Sonic movie 2 Teaser poster with the giant 2.
A true masterpiece
Make this a series! Great video, would watch 20+ more of these lol
i think i will!! cheers!
One similar to The Lobster in the sort of cut out figure style is one called Parallel Mothers it has this great bright Red and these black and white lines
Another great Red poster is one for a film called Bardo by Alejandro González Inárritu
Maybe a follow up idea could be best “colour” movie posters?
Great stuff!
Wow the metropolis poster is my favorite! So beautiful
so nice!!!!
I really appreciate you posting right now because I am exhausted and have college classes today so thank you for bringing some light into my very early day😁
These posters are so inspiring! Would love to see more of this kinda thing.
Also your 3D work is fantastic!! I hope you keep going at it!!
thank you!! gonna make a vid about the ~journey~ soon hehe
I was hoping to see the Midsommar movie poster with her crying. When I seen that it hooked me right in
i’ve been enjoying these videos so much, thanks for getting me thru some rough times. I love it!
i am loooooving these series!!! ((also completely agree with the perfect shade of red in princess mononoke's poster
A really underrated movie cover that I think is great and really striking, and does the whole teaser trailer thing you mentioned where it only makes sense after you see the movie, and represents a really key aspect of the movie is the cover art for the 2020 movie Possessor. I saw the DVD at a nearby store and thought that it had one of the most subtly surreal movie covers I'd ever seen, and when I posted that with a picture I took of the cover on social media, my friend was like "the movie is just as surreal, you should see it if you haven't", and once I watched it, I realized what she meant. You know movie art (and really art for all kinds of media formats in general) is good though when you can see it in public with no context and it still draws your attention out of everything else around it.
Avengers Endgame poster always looks like all of them try to figure out if they left the stove on.
Unironically I’m super loving the Barbie movie posters, they’re so bright and campy and simple and pretty
all these posters are great but the best one is the blow up rio tinto one in the back💀
If you ever make a second part of this video, the czech poster for Fitzcarraldo definitely needs to be in it! The impressionist style for the movies most iconic setpiece is really something else.
your whole natural vibe is so so class hahahaha
For me, it's either Once Upon a Time in America or A Clockwork Orange.
Love this video! My all time favourite film poster at the moment is definitely the Get Out (2017) poster by Jay Shaw!
Polish posters are absolutely incredible. They're desing-freakies. Love them
Nice analysis! I'd also maybe recommend you taking a look into the design of physical release Blu Rays - as collectors editions have ballooned over the years, there's a few really great examples of design, that are modern reimagining's of film artwork (and it's why I love collecting them).
Arrow Academy and The Criterion Collection would be a good place to start
Great video man, im a big film nerd so this was quite the treat. I really like the "Rififi" (1955) poster (The one with the 4 guns), any of the posters for "The night is short girl, walk on girl" (2017) and I will throw in "Belladonna of sadness" (1973), that ones a classic. Love to see a fellow aussie on the rise, keep it up
Loved the video, it' be a cool series! Some of my favorites include Vertigo, Roman Holiday/My Fair Lady, West Side Story, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Loving Vincent and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
A clockwork orange. Quite an iconic movie poster
I love this as a series as well! I love your vibe
thank you!!
One of the posters that really struck me is Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Idk what version but the idea of her being seen like a Mary with the green glow behind her, the white canvas. Really good
Yea, that was good one ..Korean film
I could watch this forever, you always crack me up Elliot 🤣
The poster for Kidlat Tahimik’s film “Perfumed Nightmare” is one of my favourites of all time. It incorporates a bunch of elements from the film really elegantly and just looks fantastic.
part two pls
might just have to!!
Teaser posters are my favourite. The creative and minimalist designs for when a movie has yet to see a trailer but they want to create hype for it.
My favourite example that comes to mind is from The Amazing Spider-Man, where Peter is clinging to the corner of 2 walls and his shadow casts the cool, elongated Spider-Man logo. Love it.
I just found your channel , now I got to watch all of ur videos graphic design is frickin schweet
such great examples, it brings so much warmth into my heart seeing polish artist from that time beeing recognized. Discovered your channel recently and immediately you became my soundtrack. Also is there any episode on music album covers? If there isnt't I would like to order one.
hell yeah movie posters. i'm not surprised to see so many polish ones coming up, i'm BEGGING anyone seeing this to look up the polish poster for The Fly remake by Eugeniusz Skorwider it is my favorite thing ever
DUDE my parents have that metropolis poster! They used to hang it in the corridor between mine and their room and I used to be absolutely terrified as a kid when I had to go to their room in the middle of the night because her eyes are so piercing I used to believe that she would come alive and like choke me or something
😂🤣🤣
Loved this vid! (as always)
the lobster was my favourite in this video work in white background hits something different
Thank you for this video
Yeah this should be a series, good stuff Elliot!
Annoy personality
Cool video! I also love the 'the exorcist' film poster, first one that came to mind when I read the title.
That was good poster . Think bill gold didn't it
Dope ones on this list. Memorability is everything. the poster from Burning(2018) is really good.
I knew when I subbed to this channel you were elliotisacoolguy but now that you dropped your love for bass your even cooler.
bass tutorial vid next week
the late censoring at 1:28 almost made me choke on my scrambled eggs. cheers, great video
always gets a comment without fail
my two favorite posters are Spidermans' homecoming drawn poster where its like spiraling to the middle and half of Peter's face is covered with a mask like in old comics...and the second one is Tick, TIck..Boom!'s yellow poster. I have it printed in A2 on my wall in the middle of all my posters and i just love it so dearly.
this is exactly the video i needed thank u
Fun fact about The Shining poster: Saul Bass originally intended for the entire poster to be red with black text (you can find a mockup of this version online), but Kubrick, who had the final say, chose yellow because he thought it would be far more unexpected and off-putting to anyone who saw it.
i love your videos, they're so...... "designing" hahaha love it
Dude, when I see u in my recommendations I’m happy
the poster for the disney film the black hole is the only correct answer
unironically fucking outstanding
Along with The Shining, I love pretty much all of Saul Bass' posters for various movies. Things like Anatomy of a Murder, Grand Prix, The Cardinal, and Vertigo. I love his design style.
love these kind of videos
akiko stehrenberger’s poster for portrait of a lady on fire is one my favorite images to ever exist in this earth
The F-bomb with the delayed beep 😂 I appreciate that 👌
Moonlight, Aftersun, Pearl, great posters !
you should do this with band posters! if you do I would suggest my chemical romances exclusive poster for their show in Raleigh NC earlier this year, It's beautiful.
The Suspiria remake had multiple fantastic posters. Not to mention the original Suspiria poster with the white silhouette is amazing. Tenebrae is a perfect poster too. I'm always looking out for that one.
That late beep everytime he curses always gets me
Somebody needs to talk about the killer klowns from outer space poster it is iconic
the type on the parasite poster is extra cool cuz its half serif half sans to represent the two families 😎😎😎😎😎
there's an alternate version of the parasite poster where they are all sitting together like a Class photo and their eyes are covered with that black line, makes it even cooler.
One of my favourite movie posters is the Come and See poster by Igor Pavlovich Lemeshev, although most posters for the film are great, especially the Criterion one and the Zdeněk Vlach one.
That intro made me instantly sub. Relatable guy
thanking the youtube overlords for finally getting a notifiication of a new video by elliotisacoolguy. happy monday !
I think the poster for little miss sunshine is quite nice as well :)
The Shining movie poster reminded me of The Thing movie poster, that one knocks me on my ass whenever i see it
gotta say, one of my favorite movie posters ever is the one bob peak made for the movie hair (and the one he did for apocalypse now lol)
As a polish person i am proud of our representation in this video
the heat (1995) poster is really cool! it's kind of an early iteration of the superhero posters but better i think
Good video! May i suggest you look at the poster for "Man with a movie camera" from 1929.
There is two versions what i can see but the one with the skyscrapers is my favourite. Looks so modern even though it´s made almost 100 years ago.
My best guess for the Muppet movie poster is that maybe Animal is more popular internationally because he doesn't really speak English (bits of English, but mostly just grunts and shouts), making him more approachable globally.
I would go crazy if you did a video like this with book covers!!!
Akiko Stehrenberger is an absolute legend- all of her stuff is worth checking out.
absolute legend indeed
My all time favorite is Fright Night 1985
my all time fave poster is the Isle of Dogs poster where it's nothing but characters from the film filling up the entire poster
I’m so happy princess mononoke got on here it’s so iconic
Ocean’s 11 is my favorite movie and has fantastic design in my opinion
That one Dogtooth poster is really cool too
Surprised Back to the Future isn't here... absolutely iconic, I always liked the logo and colors and composition
the poster for the 1962 soviet film adaptation of "crime and punishment" is one of my very favorites
Check out the poster for the film 'ASSA', specifically the version with the gun.
the first evil dead is one of my favourites :)
I’ve always liked the poster for Scream. Simple black and white photo of Drew Barrymore looking scared trying NOT to scream. Also all the old 80s blockbusters artwork are amazing
Many don't credit in credit movies ..names not mention ....
I love the italian poster for femina ridens, it's so stylish and represents the film perfectly. The harsh black and white with the headless 4 armed protagonist sitting right in between is just fantastic. It's really a shame that every other poster for that film is terrible.
My favourite movie posters are the ones from the old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone
The Green Knight has such an iconic poster. That deep bleeding red is so striking.
“That yellow is just Popping off the page” LOL
