Designers being designers... or maybe just being any uni student, when we're in the studio we tend to not be doing so much work and be watching youtube vids instead. Don't ask me how we found "Rubber", but when we did we were on to a pretty good winner. In essence, its a film about a rubber tire with telepathic powers, and enjoys blowing people's heads off. Apparently it was a total flop at the Cannes film festival, but this is the kind of twisted random humour that me and my friends enjoy. Anyway, after investigating, I found a pretty cool poster for it:
Now I'm a bit of a texture lover, and I'm always inclined to use it in my own work, so this simple yet rough around the edges look is fab. I know white black and red is a bit of a common occurence, but used in the right context, I think it's great.
(This also reminds me of the ad for Black Swan at the cinema which reminds me of a retro 1930/1940(?) design. Amazing aesthetics for such a mainstream film that could have been so predictable)
Anyway, my good friend Dave, who also found the trailer for Rubber, is a big fan of Olly Moss. I hadn't heard of him before, so had a gaze at his website, and found some of his posters which that "Rubber" had an uncanny resemblance. The screen print look that these have is great, they prove that orange works just as well as the red when complementing black and white, and they convey the film that they are advertising with minimal information. Ace.
