Movie poster designs have always intrigued me. Although the studios often spend millions in dollars for advertising a movie, for some odd reason we have a hard time seeing good poster designs. We figured it would be necessary to highlight the movie posters that actually turned out great. We’ve collected 38 awesome poster designs from random films and movies, regardless of year, genre, popularity or language.

The art of graphic design is continually evolving with society, fashion, technology and politics. Our styles and colors are inspired by everything around us and in turn, we can see snapshots of our evolving culture in the designs of the recent past. Taking a look at 2 years of magazine covers from major publications, I collected 20 contemporary magazine covers that I appreciated.
