Need a gift idea for a film buff, designer or art lover? Check out the newly released book Alternative Movie Posters: Film Art From the Underground by Matthew Chojnacki.
It’s no secret that people are passionate about film — and the same goes for artists/designers. Studios today create film posters in a rush with little thought given to design, leading most to look pretty damn lame. Needless to say, the posters featured in this book aren’t created by studios. Striking back at the lack of creativity, designers around the world have been creating their own film posters that are colorful, creative and visually appealing.
“These artists have single-handedly reinvented movie posters and did it simply because they have a passion for film and a love of design,” says author Matthew Chojnacki. “These posters sell out within minutes and are now the most coveted collectibles among movie and design aficionados.”
Over 200 posters from 100+ artists are featured in Alternative Movie Posters, along with bonus commentary. Find the book on Amazon or locally at Music Saves or CLE Clothing Co.
Chojnacki is also author of Put the Needle on the Record: The 1980s at 45 Revolutions Per Minute.
