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!
