Current Events > I hate how every movie poster looks the same

(+) Yeah! (+)

if it's comedy, it'll be red text against a white background

if it's action, it'll be half-blue, half-orange

if it's horror, it'll be all black save for whatever the focus is

and so forth

They've done a lot of research and know what works.

I am very tired of the blue and orange combination for movie posters and video game cover art. it's such a boring and lazy design choice.

I literally will buy blu rays for American movies that are made in Korea or Japan, because their cover art is 10x better and more artistic, for OUR OWN American movies. Look at Eternal Sunshine:



They have to make sure we see all the stars names listed, an out of context Peter Travers where he describes the movie wrong, and also to let us know it has lots of 4 star reviews. And boy, if it had won any Oscars, you can bet those would have been listed on the cover. Also, they have to throw in a picture of Jim Carrey at the bottom where he makes an inquisitive face, where he looks a little more like traditional silly Jim Carrey than the character we actually get in the film. These covers are one big ugly advertisement. I mean this one isn't even the worst, that picture of them on the ice isn't bad if that was all it had.

Compare to this Korean cover:

Just a nice shot from the movie (even better when they have custom art). Good, soft colors, simple, elegant.

Every action film now has copied the star wars/marvel poster style and it looks so boring.
