Who doesn’t love movies and the glossy movie posters? They’re the first thing that catches your eye when you step into a movie theatre, even before you’ve caught a glimpse of the first scene. Good photography is the mainstay of most movie posters; after all, a picture can say more than a thousand words.

But a picture doesn’t have to have a thousand elements in it to be as effective. For instance, some designers make clever movie posters that are based on only a single object. And yet, they convey the entire theme of the movie quite effectively. Sometimes, an object used on a simple movie poster may just reflect the title of the movie and not the entire theme. As long as the posters are catchy and jaw-dropping, the designer has pretty much done a great job.

To portray the entire subject matter of a movie with the help of a single design element is an art in itself. I have always been a fan of this creative concept and posted 25 Imaginative Minimalist Posters of Famous Movies earlier too.
