Inspiring Poster Design

So as I’m working on my movie poster, I’m searching for inspiration not only from other movie posters, but graphic design in general. I’ve found a lot of amazing work, and here is some of my favorites:

    This is a great collection of a variety of inspiring poster designs, but especially the ones by Tomaz Opansinksi. His graphics are so intricate yet the posters themselves are simple – the eye is drawn to the single intriguing image. The first movie poster by Opansinski really draws the eye down to the movie title, a very clever way of making sure that viewers can’t miss the text. It’s the same trick that most poster designers create with white space, only using the image instead.
