Description
I'm always trying on different artistic hats. Recently, I decided to set up a table at the Eerie Horror Fest. Quickly realizing I didn't really have any horror stuff to sell, I thought I'd try to make simple, retro looking movie posters.This was my first attempt to see if I was even capable of pulling something like this off, since I have zero background in graphic design.
We'd just seen the movie that weekend and it was fresh in my mind so I decided to go with Inception. We can all agree that this movie kicks ass, right? Right.
UPDATE: Got rid of studio logos and changed a few fonts.

You're kidding me, zero graphic design background? I figured you had some kind of professional experience. These movie posters are very awesome.

Heh--that's right! I've been drawing my entire life, though. I took a few drawing classes in high school but once I realized I wasn't being taught anything I didn't already know, I stopped going. I'm mostly self-taught. Having a background in drawing has certainly helped. I've seen a bunch of graphic designers who can't draw well and it shows in their designs. I'm certainly not one to give advice since I don't really know what I'm talking about half the time, but good designers should probably have some kind of basic drawing skills first.
Anyway, I'm so glad you dig these! I wasn't sure how well these would go over since I've never done anything like this before. They seem to be a hit!

You win the internet for the "Vertigo" reference.

I don't quite remember. I think I used "Gotham".

Thanks! Folks have compared this to Vertigo before but never Psycho. Or is that what you meant? I haven't seen any Psycho posters that resemble this one. Thanks all the same!
