On Movie Posters

Posters are presented to the marketing team at the the studio and are almost never seen by the director or producer until the marketing team is satisfied with what they have. There are always exceptions: A few directors have a very hands-on approach and sometimes a poster must be printed quickly, so it is put in front of actors and producers for approval early on. However, these cases are the outliers. If you’re wondering why so many posters mimic each other, marketing departments favor safe directions that they know audiences are comfortable with. This is a part of the process where posters become homogenized and watered down. Behold, the request of doom, “Well right now we’re just not getting the vibe we want. We need it to look more like [Insert well known movie here].” It’s all downhill from there. Requests like this and months upon months of revisions are enough to water down the most high-minded concept.

Eames: The Architect and the Painter
Saw this tonight with Casey. I was really impressed. The Eames are a couple I should definitely know as a designer, but since I didn’t get a formal education in design until now, I was painfully unaware. The film is not just a great look into a legendary artistic duo’s breadth of work, but also a very human portrayal of a relationship.

Just back from watching this. Was pretty brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Do catch it if it’s screening somewhere near you!

(And I ran into so many people from school at the screening.)
