Rediscover beloved films through 300 artist-made alternative posters
Movie posters used to do more than advertise, they captured a film's essence in a single image that made you want to see it. This collection celebrates that tradition through contemporary artists who create alternative posters for films they love, reimagining classics and modern favorites without marketing department constraints. Fifty-eight artists from the PosterSpy community contribute nearly 300 pieces spanning genres from horror and sci-fi to Wes Anderson's distinctive filmography to pop culture touchstones like Star Wars and The Goonies.
These aren't reproductions of original theatrical posters. Each piece offers a fresh visual interpretation that highlights different aspects of the film, a minor character, a pivotal scene, a thematic element the official poster overlooked. The work ranges from minimalist graphic design to detailed illustration, demonstrating how personal artistic vision can reveal dimensions of familiar films you might not have considered. Frederic Claquin and Jack Woodhams curate selections that showcase both the breadth of cinematic history and the diversity of contemporary poster art styles.
For designers, illustrators, and film enthusiasts, this hardcover collection serves as both inspiration and reference. The 8.5x11 format provides clear detail across 240 pages, letting you study composition choices, typography treatments, and how artists distill complex narratives into compelling single images.
