Graphic design plays a crucial role in the way in which we interact with movies. Changes in our movie-going experiences and interest in cinema has ultimately led to the ‘death of the movie poster.’ We have lost the sense of artistry, humanity and culture that movie posters used to embody. As a touchpoint for connection to audiences, bad posters are an insult to good films. Designers and film lovers need a new way to engage with movie posters. A community built around the celebration of this art will help people to understand their importance.
Poster Child, is a design studio that is dedicated to the revitalization of the artful movie poster. It is a platform and a forum for a community of designer and artists that love movies and movies posters to come together to discuss and celebrate cinema through design.
