Play Bill // Alternative Design Movie Posters

There are some seriously talented people out there in this creative curioso of a world we live in and a handful of those people have caught my beady eyed attention through the form of stunning art work for some of my favourite films ever! The magic of the movies is captured with such vivacious design and imagery in these alternative offerings of classic pin ups.


These crafty designers and illustrators have whipped up such genius posters, some seriously minimalist, some beautifully sketched, all totally awesome. I enjoy the visual aspect and movie references so much that I have created an ever growing pinterest board dedicated to them! If you share my love of these witty play bills then feel free to head over to my board, as I struggled in short listing a handful for this post, you can feast your eyes on the rest over there!


Some of these beauties are even up for sale, so follow the link down the rabbit hole to it's origin and go wild snapping up a print or two!

At least as grown ups we can celebrate our love of art and entertainment with these beauties framed and pride of place to spruce up a stuffy office, rather than those pull outs from Top of The Pops and Sugar magazine... And the mess that blue tac leaves on the walls!! (Anyone else have nostalgic memories of that??!)

  6. It's a lovely illustration isn't it!! Looks like it could be an oil painting or something!


    I was guilty of the shockingly cheesy Smash Hits posters, maybe a titanic poster or two and of course... Buffy the Vampire Slayer.... Hahahaha
