Hi Kirby , since there were tens of thousands of different posters made since the beginning of movie posters there's of course a lot of french ones that look wrong for sure , but since the topic was on what posters look really right french artists soubie and mascii made a lot of wonderful créations Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:30:13 -0500 From: ki...@movieart.net Subject: Re: [MOPO] ICONIC BILLBOARD To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU
Filip et al, I have to say that there are lots of French posters that look really, really wrong as well. The Italians are the best at this, and they get it wrong, too. I think a blind test of illustrations of stars lifted from posters would reveal that we often acceptthat an image is so and so because the poster tells us it is so and so. Other than the economics of the issue, one of the reasons that I'm sure the studios were happy to moveto offset is that they could use photographs of the stars as well as art. Photographs would insure ahigher recognition factor I think. Kirby McDanielMovieArt Original Film PostersP.O.
