Movie posters are usually the first impression you get from a film; you spend weeks or months looking at them in different spots around the city and on the web before the movie is released. Some of them may even become the only thing you remember years later.

Movie Posters are highly persuasive marketing tools that showcase in few words and images exactly what a movie is about.

There are all kinds of movie posters, from the Sci-Fi horror films featuring some kind of creature from another world to romantic ones portraying only a still from the most iconic love scene of the film; each one of them has a characteristic feature that will help us guess what the story might hold in store for the viewer.

Using a Poster to convey an idea, promote corporate culture or advertise your next event can be as fun and effective as Movie Posters are!

We&rsquo;ve decided to show you some of the most iconic and memorable movie posters for inspiration and to kick-start your imagination for your next poster design.

<h2>1. Raiders of the Lost Arc</h2>

This comic-book style poster design by Richard Amsel is the first one of the Indiana Jones series and it shows us the leading man, played by Harrison Ford, as an action hero. We can also appreciate the most important elements and characters in the film.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Spike interest of old and new viewers/customers with a bold image and tiny yet powerful details in the background that give your story context.

<img alt="" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/4over4-shop/assets/images/product_story_image/1377Raider-poster1.png" style="height:720px; width:1280px" />

<h2>2. A Clockwork Orange</h2>

Simple and enigmatic, we see a first glimpse of Alex DeLarge, the main character played by Malcom McDowell, with a list of his morally questionable interests in a corner and a killer look in his eyes while holding a dagger.

This poster was not the first one created for the film, but Kubrick wanted something more violent so he decided to commission this task to designer Ivan Punchatz who came up with the iconic image.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;SHOCK! A matter-of-fact, shocking descriptive narrative and/or imagery can really attract and retain attention.

<img alt="" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/4over4-shop/assets/images/product_story_image/1377Clockwork2.png" style="height:720px; width:1280px" />

<h2>3. Kill Bill Vol. 1</h2>

A woman daring you to face her in battle, wearing a yellow suit and a Japanese sword in her hand. A yellow background and the phrase &ldquo;Go for the kill&rdquo;. This pretty much sums it all up, she goes after everyone in this film and she ends up killing them for standing in her way.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Direct, bold and simple copy is usually the best. A single image can be just as powerful as direct copy.

<img alt="" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/4over4-shop/assets/images/product_story_image/1377Kill-Bill3.png" style="height:720px; width:1280px" />

<h2>4. Batman</h2>

We don&rsquo;t really need to explain or decode this one. It&rsquo;s a simple, yet very representative poster with Batman&rsquo;s logo on it. At the time of its release it also had the function of leaving behind the old cartoon-like series of the 1960&rsquo;s and focusing more on the dark side of the character that was truer to the real comic.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Reputation precedes design; if you&#39;re well known there&#39;s little that needs to be said or done. If you want to change just how you&#39;re known, redesign your brand in the simplest most representative terms.

&nbsp;

<h2>5. Scarface</h2>

A classic gangster film with a black and white poster and blood-red typography. It basically tells us a little bit about Tony Montana&rsquo;s story, the main character who&rsquo;s carrying a gun in one hand a fist on the other, and his vision.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;If you feel the image is not worth 1,000 words then you can add copy to your poster &nbsp;provided it&#39;s well balanced.

&nbsp;

<h2>6. Pulp Fiction</h2>

The First time we see it, we notice the femme fatale Mia Wallace &ndash; played by Uma Thurman &ndash; staring at us with a cigarette and a gun while reading a book called &ldquo;Pulp Fiction&rdquo;. Looking at it more closely we realize that this poster is actually intended to look as the paperback version of a book &ndash; it even has a 10 cent price tag &ndash; and the borders are a little rough on the edges, probably from use.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Use the double-take factor by presenting contrasting ideas or simulating different formats (like a book cover or a postcard).

&nbsp;

<h2>7. Silence of the Lambs</h2>

The American Film Institute has named it one of their 100 best movie posters and in 2006, the Key Art Awards crowned it the best movie poster of the last 35 years.

This poster presents Jodie Foster&rsquo;s face with a horror expression and red &ndash; almost dead &ndash; eyes, her mouth &ldquo;silenced&rdquo; by a butterfly with a skull on the back of its head, which is a key plot point.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;surrealism and minimalism are great attention-grabbers; they give new meaning to ordinary things.

&nbsp;

<h2>8. Jurassic Park</h2>

This poster is a 2 in 1. The image was actually created as a logo for the theme park in the movie and it doubles as the famous movie poster.

We can see a T-Rex represents the new set of dinosaurs we were going to find in the &ldquo;park&rdquo;.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Bold, hot, contrasting colors against a dark background make simple copy memorable and interesting.

&nbsp;

<h2>9. Am&eacute;lie</h2>

A simple but beautiful poster with the star of the film Am&eacute;lie, with a mischievous look in her eyes, and a magical background.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Character photography makes impossible ideas (like magic) relatable.

&nbsp;

<h2>10. Breakfast at Tiffany&rsquo;s</h2>

Every woman wanted to be her, and every man wanted to be with Audrey Hepburn. Everything about this poster &nbsp;is now iconic: the long cigarette, the jewels, the cat and her long black dress.

Lesson: &nbsp;&nbsp;Proportion is everything, play with tension and balance by placing elements in different positions. Consider each element as a &quot;weight&quot; . Add more weight and size to the most significant elements and then contrast them with smaller ones in the background.

&nbsp;

<h2>11. Back to the Future</h2>

Designed for the first film, by Drew Struzan, and reused for the next two, with the Doc standing behind Marty (Michael J. Fox) for II, and then joined by his love interest, Clara, for III. The poster combined witty copy with the use of color to symbolize the passing of time (from dark to light).

Lesson:&nbsp;Color can tell a story as much as words can, use it to complement your poster design (taking into account the 4 color printing process for print posters -CMYK) or to convey the idea entirely.

&nbsp;

<h2>12. Vertigo</h2>

No one can&rsquo;t help but feel absorbed by the figures inside this poster.

Saul Bass is the genius behind this masterpiece, a celebrated graphic designer who used very unexpected visual resources to recreate one of the most memorable scenes from the film and at the same time leave us guessing about its relation with the title.

Lesson:&nbsp;Simplified images, like pictograms or linear abstractions, have the power of keeping the emotional force of photographies but with the added value of mystery. Additionally, font types can make or break a poster -go for a font that&#39;s legible but representative of your theme. In this case the slightly uneven font evokes a dizzy sensation.

&nbsp;

<h2>13. Star Wars: A New Hope</h2>

Once again we&rsquo;ve singled out the first poster of a saga, this time for the epic classic Star Wars.

At the time people didn&rsquo;t really know much about this upcoming hit, except what we can appreciate in this poster. It was set in a galaxy far, far away; we also had a set of heroes, a very sexy woman with a cape and a gun, and a very masculine guy holding some sort of light sword, a pair of robots and some type of masked villain in the background.

This is actually a painting made by Tom Jung, he was commissioned to resemble the work of Frank Franzetta, known for the book covers of Conan the Barbarian, which is the reason why Luke has those rock-hard abs and Princess Leia is showing so much leg. The painting rests at Skywalker Ranch.

Lesson: If your subject is obscure or hard to explain to a first-timer exaggerate elements in the poster, whether real or fantastic bank on what makes it unique and make it BIG.

&nbsp;

<h2>14. Ghost Busters</h2>

When this poster made its debut it only showed the icon of a ghost with a red restricted circle with no other information about the movie except for telling us to expect it for next summer. Now, we can all identify this as the Ghostbusters&rsquo; logo, an icon for a generation.

Who you gonna call? Well, we guess you already know the answer.

Lesson:&nbsp;Using conventional elements (such as road signs, quotation or exclamation marks, ect.)&nbsp; helps potential viewers contextualize your poster and make your idea easier to grasp.

&nbsp;

<h2>15. &nbsp;Dracula</h2>

The film claims to be the&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;nightmare of horror&rdquo; and the poster delivers. Everyone wants to see the horrific vampire, and here he is ready to suck the blood out of an attractive female.

Lesson: A bold tagline&nbsp;can render the poster&#39;s title impressive -or not. Choose a short, to-the-point, tagline and add no further explanation!

&nbsp;

<h2>16. Rosemary&rsquo;s Baby</h2>

A very strong and symbolic message: there&#39;s a sad-looking woman with a baby stroller on her mind. There&rsquo;s something intriguing about the background and the dark tones of the night surrounding it.

Lesson: Your poster&#39;s mission is to spike curiosity -use symbolism to add a timeless and ethereal character to your event.

&nbsp;

<h2>17. The Godfather</h2>

Black and white, the typeface, the puppet strings and the Godfather himself is all that was needed to make this an unforgettable movie poster.

Lesson: Less is more. Combine simple graphic elements with interesting typography to create an unique typeface. Add a character&nbsp;photograph to complement, when necessary.

&nbsp;

<h2>18. E.T.</h2>

Spielberg himself suggested Michelangelo&rsquo;s The Creation of Adam to John Alvin for inspiration on this beautiful movie poster that symbolizes the first encounter of the human race and the adorable extraterrestrial. Also there&rsquo;s a personal touch from the designer who used his own daughter&rsquo;s hand in his creation.

Lesson:&nbsp;Powerful emotional triggers and cultural references make great headway in the viewer&#39;s memory-box.

&nbsp;

<h2>19. Little Miss Sunshine</h2>

This poster is very basic; it used a still from the movie where all its characters appear with absolutely no editing. &nbsp;We can see this family trying to get on board the van while it&rsquo;s moving which represents their odyssey and journey to finally accept each other and be on the same wagon, united, finally accepting each other for who and what they are.

Lesson:&nbsp;a life still on a simple background may provide the same powerful effect character photographs have, try taking candid or symbolic photos that may help potential attendants, customers or viewers relate with your idea or event.

&nbsp;

<h2>20. The Exorcist</h2>

There&rsquo;s nothing actually frightening about the image itself, but you know by looking at it and relating it to the title that nothing good can be awaiting in that house.

Lesson: You don&#39;t need to be explicit or overly-graphic when you treat a sensitive, gory or scary subject. Bold copy on a black and white poster goes a long way -and helps you stay classy.

20 Memorable Movie Posters You Can Learn From

English Language Day is celebrated on April 23rd, which coincides with the anniversary of famous poet and playwright William Shakespeare. The importance of the English language in today’s modern society can’t be ignored. Not only is English the official language of nearly 60 countries, it is also spoken by 1,500 million people worldwide (as revealed by<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/266808/the-most-spoken-languages-worldwide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Statista</a>). English plays a major role worldwide and new generations have a lot to learn about it.
<h2>Celebrate English Day With Creative Print Formats</h2>
If you’re a teacher and are looking for creative ways to encourage students to learn about English Language Day, this post is for you. Take a break from the usual activities and dedicate a fun lesson to teach key aspects about the English language. Celebrate English Language Day by sparking your students’ curiosity with important facts, and then choose the print material that best meets your needs. Here are a few ideas:

Posters

Custom posters are an eye-catching yet inexpensive way to draw your students’ attention to your message. Choose a fact that will be of interest to your class and use storytelling to teach history. For example, if you use the fact below, you can discuss the origins of Old English. Additionally, you can organize a theatrical production to get students excited about this celebration.

Bookmarks

What better print material than one that encourages the love of reading? Hand out <a href="https://www.4over4.com/printing/bookmarks" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-schema-attribute="">custom bookmarks</a> to every student in your class as a tangible memory of this year’s English Language Day. Read one of William Shakespeare’s many plays like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello or Macbeth. Involve students in the activity by asking questions or encouraging them to make predictions.

Labels

Watch a movie in a different English accent than American. Here are some suggestions: Australian - Storm Boy (1976), British - Emil and the Detectives (1964), Indian - Slumdog Millionaire (2008), Canadian - Gaston’s Recital (1974). Encourage children to notice the differences in each nation’s English accent as well as scenery and traditions. Chose a representative image of the film and <a href="https://www.4over4.com/printing/online-labels" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-schema-attribute="">customize print labels</a>. Give away personalized stickers as souvenirs or prizes for the students who best answer your questions.

Buttons

Take your class to an English as a Second Language (ESL) course and help students socialize with immigrants through role play or team games. If possible, allow your students to ask immigrants questions about their countries of origin to create cultural sensitivity. Request information about the immigrants’ nationalities in advance and ask children to draw something that represents a foreign country. Pick some of their artwork and customize your own buttons. Note: if you have a class of high-school students, ask them to write positive messages to refugees and immigrants.

Post-Its

Organize innovative activities like a radio show program produced by your students, or a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game to talk about the evolution of the English language, it’s history, interesting facts or statistics. Feeling creative? Come up with a “throw the ball” game, an interview, a panel discussion or a scavenger hunt. Use custom post-its to write questions and stick them in hidden places or hand them out to students to write their ideas down.

Jigsaw Puzzle

Group students into teams to solve a puzzle. The great thing about these interactive tools is that they can have different levels of difficulty, depending on the age of the students. Custom puzzles are ideal for promoting teamwork and cooperation.

Creative School Prints for English Language Day

When it comes to the food industry, custom menu printing is more than an option, it is an absolute need. Menus are the business cards of the restaurant world. It is not just about listing products; they set the tone for the establishment's style. Pop  restaurants rely on larger printing formats that all customers can read. Vegetarian restaurants have eco-friendly options, and expensive restaurants go for luxurious paper.
Up-and-coming businesses can use custom printing to create a company image and promote it. A recipe book is something all kitchen enthusiasts would like to get. Food service providers can promote themselves through <a href="https://www.4over4.com/printing/booklet-printing" data-schema-attribute="">custom booklet printing</a>.
Sharing similar recipes to the style of food the restaurant serves. It will make readers curious to try the chef’s food. Also, booklet printing is an opportunity for local sponsorship. Chefs or business owners can team up with local grocery stores and promote each other.

<h2>Identify your product range</h2>
<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/vegan-menu.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-5414 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/vegan-menu.jpg" alt="menu printing" width="736" height="514" /></a>

</div>
This example shows how a business can identify its product range by choosing a similar design with different colors. These colorful menus let customers know about the available options. Since they are visually appealing, someone who was not originally interested in vegetarian food, can look at the menu just out of curiosity.

<h2>Dare to be different</h2>
<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/cake-menu.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-5416 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/cake-menu.jpg" alt="professional-menu-printing" width="736" height="1100" /></a>

</div>
This interesting design makes people take a second look to realize it is a cakes menu. Making customers curious is a way to captivate them. The goal for out-of-the -ordinary products is to become a conversation topic and eventually turn into sales.

<h2>Promote your talent</h2>
<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/booklet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-5415 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/03/booklet.jpg" alt="booklet printing for restaurant" width="427" height="640" /></a>

</div>
The day will come when reviews about your business get featured in food magazines. In the meantime, custom booklet printing lets you create your own magazine. Use this format to promote your brand and let readers know about your business. Having read about it, customers will have a reference when your business name appears, you can hand them out for free or with a small purchase (something sweet and tasty!) to other local businesses.

<h2>Share small doses of information</h2>
Don’t try to fit every bit of information in one format. <a href="https://www.4over4.com/printing/table-tents" data-schema-attribute="">Table tents</a> are great for featuring a promotional product. They are also helpful when new products are added and they are not yet on the permanent menu.
Growing businesses can build their image using affordable formats. Table tent printing, menu printing, and custom booklet printing are all flexible products in terms of price, quality and content customization. They can easily be adapted as the business grows or changed to attract their target market.

If you are a food industry entrepreneur, have in mind that your menus will be the first impression customers will have about your product. Explain your brand personality to the designer so you can work as a team to create the perfect business image. Choose a consistent material with your brand identity and don’t forget to distribute it wisely.

Custom Printing for Entrepreneurs: Food Industry Edition

There is no doubt that Photoshop has become a part of modern culture. You don’t have to be a designer to know about the ‘almighty’ software that seems to have no limitation over image editing. Being such an influential tool, no one seemed to be shocked when the word ‘photoshop’ simply became one of those spontaneous new verbs.

Photoshop 1.0 was first launched in 1990, since then, new versions have been released to keep up with photo retouching developments. The latest ones are Photoshop CS6 (2012), Photoshop CC (2013), and the fresh from the oven Photoshop CC 2014. We decided to talk to some professionals and look for reputable tutorials to bring you some of the best-hidden gems of the latest versions. So let’s take a look at what they have to offer and see what the graphic design pros love about them.
<h2>Check Out these 15 Photoshop Secrets to dominate the CS6 and CC Suites</h2>
<h2>1. CS6’s and CC's Nondestructive Crop Tool</h2>
The seemingly small change makes a big difference when it comes to preserving information. Not only are the handles easier to use, but it is also easier to go back and recover the dismissed area. Additionally, you can preset the tool to keep the photo dimensions instead of holding the shift key.
<h2>2. Smart Sharpen Differences</h2>
You’ll find a few differences between CS6’s and CC’s smart sharpen filter. Both improved from previous versions. Photoshop CC includes the Shadows/Highlights options, allowing you to have more control over the sharpen tool. Plus, you can reduce noise from the smart sharpen filter now.

<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/Smart-Sharpen-Tool.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6371 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/Smart-Sharpen-Tool.png" alt="photoshop secret cc smart sharpen tool" width="621" height="548" /></a>
<h2>3. Generate Images by Changing Layer Names</h2>
You can generate images by changing layer names on both Photoshop CS6 and CC. However, CC allows more characters, which means more images. All you have to do is enable image assets (from the file tab) and specify the kind of file you want. For example, if the layer is called ‘image.png’, photoshop will create a png file from that layer called ‘image.’ You can create several images by separating such names by commas and type the desired size first (e.g. 400x400 image.png, 503x403 image.png) which you can later use for thumbnails or size samples.
<h2>4. Adding Scripted Patterns</h2>
Photoshop CS6 allows you to create scripted patterns from default ones to your very own creations. Just click edit &gt;fill and you’ll find 5 scripted pattern options to choose from. Plus, the CC version included a ‘Tree’ pattern, where, you guessed it, you can add a very realistic tree to any scenery.

<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/photoshop-scripted-pattern.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6372 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/photoshop-scripted-pattern.png" alt="photoshop secret scripted patterns" width="344" height="323" /></a>
<h2>5. Creating Picture Frames</h2>
This option is also part of CC’s scripted patterns (edit &gt; fill &gt; scripted patterns &gt; picture frame). It has everything from standard lines to more elaborated and decorative elements. You can add as a theme to your pictures or maybe create a personal style of publications.
<h2>6. Turn the Background Into a Layer</h2>
This is not a new feature, but Photoshop CC added yet another way to do it with a single click. Basically, all you have to do is click the lock and instantly turn your background into a layer. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

For more details about image generation, scripted patterns, picture frames and background unlock, watch Terry White’s great tutorial here.
<h2>7. CS6’s Merge to HDR Pro</h2>
Merging several images is a good way to tone an image and get nicer results. The feature also includes an ‘edge smoothness’ option, which is very useful after the merging process.
<h2>8. CS6’s Photo Toning Presets</h2>
This feature is definitely a great gift for photographers. If you choose ‘gradient map’ as an adjustment layer, you’ll find the ‘photographic toning’ option as part of the gradient editing preferences. You can play with a vast range of color effects to fit the style of any project.
<h2>9. CS6 Brought Contact Sheet Back</h2>
This feature was not a part of Photoshop CS5, but it came back with CS6. What it does is create a contact sheet from a folder of images. It lets you choose from different settings and ultimately optimizes the process for you.

You can click here to watch Scott Kelby’s tutorial on some of these useful features.
<h2>10. CC’s Camera Raw Filter</h2>
This new filter has everything you need to bring any .jpg to the standard you want. It allows you to treat is as raw file from the same layer, with no need for external tools.
<h2>11. CC’s Shake Reduction Feature</h2>
We can now fix blurred images with the ‘shake reduction’ feature by clicking filter &gt; sharpen &gt; shake reduction. As soon as you open the smart filter, there will be a automatic assessment of the image. However, you will be able to apply more controlled changes to smaller loops. This is a great feature to reconstruct those blurred images we would normally just delete. If you want to see the new filter in action, click here to watch lynda.com’s tutorial.

<a href="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/shake-reduction.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6374 size-full" src="https://cloud-cdn.4over4.com/2014/08/shake-reduction.png" alt="photoshop secret shake reduction" width="1024" height="590" /></a>
<h2>12. CC’s Perspective Warp</h2>
This feature was added in the January 2014 Photoshop CC update. It simplifies the process of warping an object without losing its realistic looks. We can tell the software what the current perspective, so we can warp it easily. It comes with a couple of automatic features, but you can do it manually for more accurate results. You’ll find it by clicking edit &gt; perspective warp.
<h2>13. Removing Elements From a Stack of Photos With Photoshop CC</h2>
You would usually take a number of photographs from the same angle to make sure you’ve got the perfect shot of a monument or landscape. And if that happens to be a place with lots of traffic, there’s a chance you’ll end up with a series of pictures with unknown walking people. If you select a group of layers with this description, auto align them and then convert them to a smart object, you can easily remove the moving objects and leave the static ones. Meaning, the buildings and landscape will stay and the people will go. All you have to do is click layer &gt; smart objects &gt; stack mode &gt; maximum.
<h2>14.  Adding More Than one Focus Point With Photoshop CS6 and CC</h2>
As you now, Photoshop CS6 came with a new blur gallery. One of the favorite tools involves an action that you can’t actually accomplish without digital manipulation. Which is adding two different focus points to the same photograph. You will be able to manipulate them from their respective blur features dialogue panels and come up with interesting results.
<h2>15. CS6’s and CC's Adaptive Wide Angle</h2>
This filter is a more efficient way to deal with fisheye lens corrections. You will be able to draw intuitive lines in order to straighten certain elements, such as buildings, ground lines, or horizons. The reason it works so well is that it identifies the lens used to take the photo and can perform the necessary adjustments.
