My all-time favorite movie poster artist is Drew Struzan. You may not be familiar with his name but you're certainly familiar with his work. The Back To Future, the first trilogy Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Bladerunner, Hellboy, Hook and dozens of other movie posters art are his work.Drew Struzan and David J. Schow, with foreword by Frank Darabont, and Titan Books have collaborated to give a visual chronicle of Struzan's work in The Art Of Drew Struzan.
Inside you'll discover how the artist comes up with a poster concept using carefully crafter penciled and sometime colored layouts. Accompanying each series of drawings and the final poster prints are production notes, anecdotes and observations by the artist.
The book makes for a fascinating look into the creative mind of one of the industry's top artists. As an artist and graphic designer I appreciate and applaud his talent from concept sketches to finished pieces.
