What are some differences you see in the first movie poster and newer posters?

Poster Elements & Layout​

• At a functional level, all movie posters usually contain the title, star(s), director, and release date, and some may also feature review quotes or slogans to further entice cinema-goers.​

• Of course, the poster design and the overall brand identity play a huge role in ensuring the success of the movie marketing campaign. 

Poster Elements & Layout​ (cont.)

• Eye-catching colors, larger-than-life typography, and exciting graphics help to conjure up a cinematic experience in static form, while images of well-known movie stars help to connect with fans. Sure, there will always be examples of bad movie poster design, but these are always outshone by some of the amazing movie poster designs released by designers and studios (see below for movie poster design inspiration).
