One of a series of posters designed by Hunter Langston for this year’s Best Picture nominees. While it was hard to decide a favorite, this one, for The Artist, vividly demonstrates how a strong concept and limited color palette can powerfully communicate an idea.  You can see the entire set at We and the Color. Langston’s Etsy storefront is here.

You cannot help but love the obsession of designer Mike Joyce. Every chance he gets, he designs a new punk band poster in the Swiss style. Could two aesthetics be so at odds? Apparently not. His website Swissted is one of the most engaging homages I have ever seen. Though I’m not exactly sure who is being homaged.— from Imprint I admire someone who sets themselves a personal creative challenge, especially one involving marrying two diametrically opposite esthetics.

The Internet Movie Poster Awards site is a trove of visual inspiration. Above is the winner of the 2010 contest for best poster, for Rabbit Hole. Calling it equally beautiful and disturbing, the judges wrote:  A good poster usually tells a story with a single image. This one uses nine snippets of images to tell its story of the emotional ups and downs of two people. At either side of the design the characters are alone, in darkness, and in pain. In the center they are together, their world is brighter, and they are happy. One can read the order of emotions either way. Do they begin in happiness and end in despair or is it the other way around? The poster was designed by Ignition Print.

Poster from an identity redesign for the Melbourne Dance Company, by Josip Kelava. If you look closely at this poster and other pieces on Behance, you’ll see that the dancers’ body parts intertwine with the letters, which while hard to decipher, are an intriguing reference to dance movements and choreography.
