Title: Our own book
|
I'll take 20 copies
............................................ not really. So if this book
were to happen and presumably it would be on British Quads, what would the
outline of the content be? Introduction? Just pics with short
descriptions of Title, year, studio? Or would there be a history
section? A breakdown by decade? A short biography of the
artist/designers? Influences of the artist/designers? Favorite
fetishes of the artist/designers? Ooops, I mean paint brushes.
Bruce's books are nice for pictures but I also like text describing the
evolution of the poster itself and any stories behind particular posters.
Okay, it's someone else's turn to chime in.

Subject: [MOPO] Our own book
Philipp recently suggested that we publish our own movie poster
book. I think this is a rather good idea. There are a few online companies
(Shutterfly, Ofoto) that allow you to upload text and photos and publish just
one book if you want. The results are not perfect, because it's hard to know
exactly how the company is going to adjust the exposure of your jpegs. My
brother created a book about his Alaska vacation through Shutterfly, and it
came out pretty good. The technology is pretty amazing considering that when I
was in grade school, the best thing we had was these ditto machines that used
smelly purple ink that bled all over the paper.
Enough rambling. Here
is a preview of my upcoming movie poster book:
