I saw these a while back, but I seem to look them up every few months because I love them so much. I’m a big Star Wars fan, and digital artist Olly Moss’ poster set is fascinating and beautiful. At first glance, I thought they were nice; nothing crazy, but well done and pretty. But the more I looked at them, the more I realized how great they were. The silhouettes of characters as the focal point is great, but having key locations from the films acting as accents is just brilliant. C-3P0′s eyes are the two suns of Tatooine, Cloud City is Boba Fett’s visor and Darh Vader’s mask and facial features are made by the trees and wildlife of Endor (nerd overload!).
I enjoy these posters so much because of the amount of thought that went into them is clear. Anyone can make Star Wars references, but this artist took the time to make each poster very specific to the film while creating a cohesive look between the three.
This is the kind of thing that inspires me as and makes me jealous that I didn’t design them.
