PERKINS' 14- SLASHBACK
by slasherdesignBold! Shocking! Eye-catching! A change from the same ol' style and look that seems to have plagued the horror movie poster in recent years.
At ARSONAL, our two main philosophies for poster design are concept and execution, and this is successful on both levels. It also shows a good understanding of typography. Brad Johnson - ARSONAL
This poster has a classic horror feel and technique that really captures the thrill of the film. Dean Sona - The Ant Farm
I really like the retro feel; it captures the frenetic chaos that is the essence of the movie. Execution is superb and the fold lines are a nice touch. My only concern is MPAA approval for the amount blood, but that can be easily addressed. Stephanie Caleb - After Dark Films
I've always wanted to see a poster like this done. The fold lines only add to what I think is a brilliant effort by the artist. Michael Urann - After Dark Films
