lets play a game. whats the laziest part about these “posters”?
answer: deciding to do them in the first place.
to properly kill a zombie you must destroy their brains, or bust out some serious jazz hands and slay ‘em with song and dance.
while on the surface this is really just a pretty middle of the road poster, it gets taken to a whole new level when you remember that the actor who played Ed Rooney, the principal who chases Ferris through the film, was arrested for being a pedophile.
the key to making a successful poster for a suspenseful and terrifying movie about a killer shark is to create imagery that is actually quite peaceful, calming, and wholly charming while ignoring anything to do with all that unpleasant shark business.
one of the hardest parts about being a designer is knowing when to stop; knowing where that line of overworking and over-thinking is. i’d bet actual money that months later whoever made this is still at his computer adding additional and unnecessary horseshit to this awful fucking poster. there’s still some space on the left, better cram a neon elevator door in there.
whoever did this was so proud of the shitty “spots as dots” concept they not only included 4 additional huge and useless circles to really nail the motif home, but they also were so distracted by their own bullshit they didn’t catch the fact that drew a white dog dark red.
do you get it? its pretty conceptual, so if you don’t get it, PM me and ill explain it to you. its fine if you don’t understand it, not everyone will, as its defiantly a thinker and it certainly helps that i have a few years of critical thinking arts education under my belt to really get to the core of whats going on here. i mean, i understood it immediately but it would make sense that not a lot of people would really grasp the conceptual nature of this piece. its pretty high brow work.
