Exploring the Lost "Art" of the Film Poster.

40+ Creatives were given the task of creating their own interpretation of a Cult, Classic or Obscure film poster from the past, whether it be a literal or abstract solution. The result is Now Showing, an Art exhibition paying homage to more than 70 years of film, through the form of Prints, One Off Screen Prints and Sculptures.

Artists who's work was on display include: Mr Ian Wright, Hellovon, Non Format, Corey Holms, Grandpeople, Marian Bantjes, Tomer Hanuka, Pure Evil, James Joyce, Michael Gillette and Many More.






This final poster design is my favorite. It looks crazy! The use of colour, image and large red tongue are perfect to illustrate the madness of the movie. It also does a good job to scare the viewer, same as the film.
All the final poster designs were published in a publication, Monograph. This is perhaps another route I could take the rise of the apes poster brief in.

Monograph is a free, 20-page, A5 booklet from Creative Review, provided as an additional benefit to all subcribers. Each month, it showcases a personal project or body of work. Monograph is distributed with subscribers’ copies of the magazine only and will not appear on newsstand copies.
