MInimalist Typography Movie Posters

I love these posters! They were created by a Swedish designer, and I think they are a good example of how powerful minimalist design can be.

Eyecatching



This is one of my favorite advertisements. It really grabs your attention. The ad wants people to be aware of AIDS. I am not sure what spiders have to do with AIDS. Maybe because it is a bug and HIV is colloquially known as the ‘bug’. Also I guess spiders are undesirable and so is AIDS. I like spiders, but not HIV/AIDS. Still, for most people, I feel this ad triggers some visceral reaction that causes it to stick in the mind. This ad made rounds all over the internet when it was released so it was effective in being noticed, but I’m not sure if it did anything to reduce new cases of HIV/AIDS.

This is an inappropriate logo



This is a good example of how you do not want your logo to look. No one will be able to reference your product without tittering like an 8 year-old because the graphic designer did not consider how phallic an anthropomorphized satellite dish could be.
