Minimalist Movie Posters

This style of poster is one of particular interest to me, because they convey the entire meaning of the movie in one symbol and no unnecessary extra information, and also because through all the various artists who take up the style, the basic layout stays relatively the same between all of them. It's great.

David Carson.

This is David Carson, he works primarily with typography and forcing the reader to interpret it in many instances. He once wrote an entire magazine article in Wingdings. But not this stuff:


K'naan

This is K'naan. He creates excellent rap music for everyone to enjoy.

Erik Johansson

Erik Johansson is a photo manipulator who took me forever to share with you because his website is so damn hard to remember. It was worth procrastinating my essay though, since I feel like a lot of his work is familiar to us internet people, yet nobody really knows who he is.






Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor is still alive, thankfully, since that means she will continue fellating my ear with her voice. She's picked up a lot of steam lately with the mainstream, a fact many take issue with, but one that I revel in, since it only means that more people will have the opportunity to experience her magic. Since she has hit it off with the mainstream, however, a lot of her more inaccessible early work has gone passed by. This is what I would like to share with you, my only reader. Aren't you special?


She's also adorable!

Nujabes

Nujabes is the first artist that I've shared that is no longer with us. All for the better, however, since he never had the opportunity to produce anything mediocre. His music was what some would call 'Jazzhop,' which is exactly what it sounds like. He was really big in Japan.


Banksy

In the interest of abandoning any façade of individuality or what have you, I'd like to proclaim that I am a huge fan of Banksy. Here is some of his work, and I am sure that if you don't like these then there will be something else of his that you will.
