Tron

I've become a little bit of a Tron geek recently! I seem to have a Tron desktop wallpaper as well as a Tron phone wallpaper, but I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen the films properly!... I remember seeing the original when I was very young but I can't remember it enough to claim that I know the plot, so this evening I'm going to watch the original before watching the new one later on this week. I've heard mixed reviews about Tron Legacy, but I don't want to judge it until I've seen it for myself because the trailer for it looks quality as well as having a fantastic updated re-brand that doesn't steer away too much from the original brand design!

Scream

Due to the release of the new Scream film I thought it would be interesting to see the growth in design that the film posters have had over the years... I'm a big fan of the most recent one, using the shape of the mask to turn into a knife is cool! The first is a little too 'Silence of the Lambs' for me, and I suppose the other two worked for the era they were designed in, still not a massive fan though. It's nice to see that they have kept the same typeface and the same distinctive 'm' throughout all 4 posters. When you take a step back and look at them all, you begin to see the links throughout each design - The Evolution of the Scream poster... I think I'm going to have a 'Scream Marathon' before heading to the cinema to watch the new one!

Face Text

Recently there have been a few film posters being produced using one image with some typography over the top... Personally I'm unsure of this new trend... The 1st and last poster work very well and are strong designs, but I feel 'The Social Network' poster and the new 'Thor' poster are quite weak, especially since 'The Social Network' is such a good film.

Heartbeats

Cool poster design for the new film 'Heartbeats', not sure what the film is like though.

My design of the day is another Karate Kid poster.
Now that I've seen the film I had some slightly wittier and less commercial ideas to design with.
