A movie poster remade into it's most simplist form

Olly Moss is a pretty decent designer, scratch that damn good designer. On his own time he decided to remake eight well known movie posters in a minimalism/abstract manner. The result is eight fascinating reinterpretations, each one braking the story down to an illustration representing a key story point.


I especially like the Die Hard approach. For me the shards of glass represent danger around every corner and his vulnerability with not having his shoes. The others are less inspired but equally well treated. The designs remind me of old books you would find in a corner of some book store.

Overall I think it's a good example of not going for the obvious Photoshop treatment with a Big Head and doing something fresh and simple. I guarantee that if any of these posters were up people would remember them a lot longer than a big head with a tiny building blowing up in the background. The only fall back to this approach is that they maybe seen to be too intellectual, which would be a turn off to those that don't want to think, which is most of America unfortunately.
