Prep for Exhibition Poster

this is a Dada style exhibition poster for a show at the centre pompidou. It shows the style of the movement with its almost random placement of artists' names, and its arbitrary size relation. I couldn't find the name of the artist, but it was made in 2005.

Post millennial

In the case of the post millennial movie posters, they give a lot more visual clues as to what the movie is about. Like this film, as the title suggests, has something to do with a Taxi, and also from looking at the actual image we can also see that this taxi driver is either associated or involved with the police. So in this example we see that posters of this era are more telling about the plot of the movie than those of the past. 

Post-modern

In the example of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining," the designer used images from the film to get the audience's attention. He used images from a very intense moment of the film to make viewers ask 'why?' His goal was again to draw people in without leaking unnecessary information or spoilers, and was successful in doing so. 

Modern

The goals of the designer was to draw attention to the movie without giving too much information. They needed to draw people in with a general visual story, but only give an idea about what the actual film is about. In the Film "Harvey", the designer shows that in the Film is Actor James Stewart and something about a rather large rabbit, in which he is interacting. This gives an idea about what might be going on in the movie, but exactly why or how or even what is still a mystery.
