After attending the Savannah Film Festival I was motivated to add a little movie memorabilia to the bare walls of my apartment. In my search, I ran across Claudia Varosio’s shop on etsy.com. Claudia creates prints that are inspired by her favorite movies and her tastes just happen to be identical to mine. I have a new problem now: I do not have enough wall space to fit all the movie art that I like! My favorites are: Inglorious Bastards; The Big Lebowski; Best in Show; There Will Be Blood; Taxi Driver; and China Town. I’m tempted to commission her to do an adapation of the posters for Election starring Reese Witherspoon and American Psycho starring Christian Bale.
While searching I also discovered Posteritai which has a million movie posters from all across the world. I especially adore the 1971 french vintage Harold and Maude poster. Obviously, I cannot forget the style icon that inspired my nickname, Ms. Hepburn as Miss Golightly found on paintedicons.co.uk. A wide variety of other movie icons with pop art depictions are available as well.
As a final note, I found this poster, inspired by the World War II British “moral” poster Keep Calm and Carry On. I think a certain filmmaker that I live with may enjoy it.
The most memorable horror games don’t constantly demand attention. They trust players to feel discomfort on their own. That confidence in design is what separates lasting horror from forgettable scares.
