Movie posters are considered an art form and, unfortunately, a forgotten art form at that. During the early years of cinema, Illustrative posters were utilized just like any other advertising material. They were displayed in theatres only, and basically – movie posters served the same function as a menu did in a restaurant, granting the customer (viewer) a list by which to ‘ choose ‘ what their primary course would be. Flash forward to the present day and age, movie posters have come to play a major role in cinema and especially when it comes to memorabilia collection.
Movie Posters have become iconic whereas; they have become embedded onto the public consciousness, and have become so recognisable that one feels a certain familiarity when seeing them hanging on a wall, on a bus stop or anywhere where Ads are displayed.
