Minimalist Movie and TV Posters from Vector Artists

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Several months ago, I stumbled onto a graphic artist’s portfolio containing some “updates” to movie posters of the past.  At first glance, the images looked basic and bland, but as I navigated through the artist’s site I saw the complexity of these re-imagined posters and began to wonder if others had seen these and if any other digital artists had done anything like it.  As it turns out, vector artists have been creating minimalist movie and television themed posters for some time and their works are truly amazing.  If you are a fan of the movies or love television, you’ll love these original creations from some 21st century illustrators.

In an effort to minimize the space used for this article and share as many of these wonderful creations as I can, I’ve provided thumbnails of many posters and links to the sites of the artist or article about these posters.  Feel free to visit the links, comment on the posters, download some and use them as wallpaper and/or (most importantly) support the artists by clicking on any ads on the sites you visit.  You don’t have to buy anything, just click on a link or two and they’ll get paid for your click.  I like to think of this as digital tipping.

FollowFriday – Friday April 30, 2010 – VIDEO GAMES

FollowFriday : On any given Friday, thousands upon thousands (maybe even millions) of Twitter users enter the hashtag #FollowFriday (or #FF), followed by one or more “mentions.” The idea is for users to share the names of other “interesting people” that they follow and think you should too. These recommendations serve as positive comment cards for the digitally inclined.

JumpstartMyPC.com has decided to bring FollowFriday to our blog. Read on and, if you are so inclined, add these “interesting people” to your own list.
