Using less obvious sources for inspiration can stimulate you to be much more creative and original. Today I’ve collected some great posters from recently released and upcoming movies.
Most of these are in here because I think they’ll inspire with their use of typography, effects or a unique approach. There’s a few on the other hand that are here simply because I’m a huge fan boy for stuff from my youth. New Conan and Red Sonja films? Hell yea!
So what movies get you excited?










































The majority of these came from the movie poster awards. Give them a look-up if you’re into movie posters.

Oh wow, some of these are just amazing! I LOVE all of The Spirit posters. Just goes to show you don’t need much color to convey a strong theme or emotion. Thanks for these! Some of these movie I didn’t even know were in production.
