Beautiful Tarantino Movie Posters

A few weeks ago I had the chance to watch the new Tarantino's movie, Inglourious Basterds. It took quite a while to be released in Brazil, more than 3 months after the US premiere. Nevertheless, as a huge fan of Tarantino I went to the theater and watch the movie. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion one of the best if not the best movie Tarantino has done since Pulp Fiction. The script, the comedy, the performance of the actors, specially the german guy and Brad Pitt, everything very well done and thought. Of course I couldn't forget the soundtrack, it's really good as usual.

Super Freaky Movie Posters of the 70's

From Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to Zardoz, the 1970’s were not only home to some of the craziest titles in film, but some of the most interesting movie posters.

The 70’s were also home to some of the more psychedelic and funky designs for movie posters that more recent directors, most notably Quentin Tarantino, have drawn on as inspiration for their own movie poster designs.

In the days before the internet, a movie poster was much more important in the marketing mix for a movie than it is today. It was the historical equivalent to the movie trailer, and as such graphic artists had to pack a lot of message into one image.

Let’s go back in time with a collection of over 70 movie posters from the 70’s that are funky fresh. Enjoy… (to improve page loading, we split the collection into two pages).

70+ Insightful Retro And Historic Artwork Around The World | Inspiration

When one speaks of retro art, images of art styles derived from advertising and propaganda posters from 1930s to 1960s usually flood the mind. The simple graphics made from oil paints reflect the less advanced technology of that time. This period is also a time of significant turbulence in our modern history, when major events such as the rise of communism and World Wars were taking ground. It is then not surprising that many posters serve as propaganda tools for the ruling governments. These propaganda images eventually contributed to the development of different retro art styles.

50 Awesome Examples of Triangles in Design | Abduzeedo |

Today I will profess my love for triangles! Strange love to have, I know. But seriously, right after circles, triangles are the next best thing.
I've always loved triangular elements in design. For me it completes the piece. You can have a very simple composition but as soon as you add a triangle it becomes magical in my eyes :D Apparently triangles are the most unpleasing shape because it confuses the eye with its odd number of points. I heard that in some high school art class once but I don't believe it. Triangles are lovely.
