I found this artist and was pleasantly surprised to discover that he creates his own versions of famous movie posters in his spare time. He is a recent graphic design graduate and must have a passion for films if he fills up his spare time with creations such as the ones below. In his profile he credits many influences from all different backgrounds, including the legendary Saul Bass. A personal hero of mine as well. You can definitely see this influence in his work, from the minimal use of colours to the strategic placement of text. I think I may take note and try to create some of my own re-imaginings.
It is purely coincidental that these three posters feature figures as the focal point. However I do like his approach to each individual one, with the 'Inception' example being my favourite. There are a few reasons for this, one being simply because I like the colour scheme and the choice of font. Another being the use of a 'maze' instead of the characters face, depicting the confusion and complexity of the human mind when it comes to dreaming. This may be the geek in me but I also like how you can tell it is Leonardo DiCaprio just from the outline.
