25 Modern Conceptual Movie Posters

Modern Hollywood graphic designers are lazy — and that’s a fact. I’ve heard it straight from the mouth of a Disney executive, who stated that he’s actually tried to get fired a few times for creating terrible movie posters full of floating heads and cheesiness. While the rest of the world doesn’t seem to mind, things like the stereotypical or obvious solution make us designers cringe and want to cry ourselves to sleep at night. However, there is a ray of hope for these modern examples of recent movie posters that have chosen to gone in the conceptual route. The result: a movie poster you’d be proud to frame.

I’m a big movie fan myself, and I used to collect movie posters, they are art pieces if you ask me. Thank you for this post. My top 3 faves is Beauty and the Beast, Pearl Harbor and Identity, great set.

Our pleasure :) I’d like to put together a part 2, since there are so many under appreciated posters out there. And like you said, movie posters can be pieces of art.
