(Preface) 'The development of the movie poster shares a parallel history with the evolution of film from its beginnings in the 1900s to the present day. This book charts 100 years of the visual development of the movie poster and brings together a unique collection of posters from around the world.
Structured chronologically Movie Poster looks at four key eras in the history of cinema and illustrates the important movie posters of the time, focusing on influential designers, directors, movies, and genres. The book examines directors including Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and Spike Lee, who have been strongly influential in the design of their movies' posters, and designers including Saul Bass and Bob Peak who are recognized for a poster style that is inimitably their own. The book also covers the different posters created for movies such as Citizen Kane and The Godfather.
With an insightful text by writer and design historian, Emily King, and extensively illustrated with movie posters from around the world, this book is required reading for designers, poster collectors, and anyone with a passion for the movies.'
