Type Based Movie Posters

Even without reading the title, you know this has to do with seeing. The haze indicates it has to do with a lack of seeing.

The H creates a horizon line. No color needed.
 I don't know what this movie is about but the design elements tell a story anyway. The typeface says wild west. The mountain of type says wild west setting. The O and chain say wild west prisoner to me. All type.



All of the titles not only say ELI but they also describe the characters and their place in the movie. I also like how the actors names are put on their dark clothes and inverted.

Cool use of type to show the depth at which this guy is buried. I also like how the title of the movie is designed. It is not the biggest word but it is the only thing that is not black or white. It is also at the same angle as the picture.


Great movie title of all type to mend these two futuristic spacey action movies together. Typeface + Letter orientation = success.

The old angled type treatment. Not especially clever but it does its job for communicating a clever scheme movie and it makes for an attractive, well designed poster.

Typeface says scary thriller movie about a crazy person and the 4 makes a knife. Simple and effective.

Series of type posters that make images that hit the concept of the movie on the head.

Very nice minimal use of an ampersand.

Very good poster for the concept of fargo.

Mazes that are letters that say Inception. Also shows the layered aspect of the movie.

Funny poster using type and a condom to censor the title. The space on the condom is used well also.

Great poster for A.I. Shows the boy is a manufactured thing that is curious about life. Point blank.
