Ever
since the genesis of movies promotional movie posters have drawn in
crowds. Some movie posters have become
so popular and iconic that they sell for thousands of dollars apiece.
Most
people can identify movies by their posters.
But what if there were alternative versions of famous posters? Would they be as recognizable as the
originals and as memorable?
I
believe they would.
Authors
Fredric Claquin and Jack Woodhams have compiled an impressive collection of
alternate/new visions of movie posters created by Arttitude in Posterspy Alternative Movie Poster
Collection published by Schiffer
Books.

skills needed to create each and every piece.
