From what is becoming my favorite blog, Fast Company’s co.design blog has published a designer’s interpretation of movie posters in a minimalistic style.
The designs rigorously adhere to the same mold: a circle overlaid by two diagonals, all inscribed in a square. The structure seems stringent, but, as Krasnopolski found out, it could actually yield “plenty of possibilities.” His poster for the original Star Wars, for example, consists of a grey circle diametrically bisected by a single line and set on a black background.
