Akiko Stehrenberger: Posters of New Hollywood

A quick review of the work of Art Director and illustrator Akiko Stehrenberger and one thing is clear, the golden age of the movie poster is now. Not some far off time, deep in the history of Hollywood. The diversity of style and technical achievement is stunning. Whether it’s aping an old illustration vernacular or creating something new and fresh, these are prestige projects all around. Is there an Academy Award for for film poster design?

I heartily agree with this blogger. These are fantastical, smart and soon to be classic movie posters. Particularly like ‘Kiss of the Damned’ but overall this is a very inspiring body of work! Just had to share…
