Moon by All City Media/Martin Ansin
Mondo continue there must have streak today releasing this fantastic Moon print. Similar to my favorite standard poster release of last year from All City Media but Sam Rockwell art courtesy of Mr Ansin himself. If you werent lucky enough to catch the film in theatres check it out now on DVD/Bluray.
This year at SXSW, I was lucky enough to hang out with David Frost from the design firm, All City Media. If you’re not familiar with All City, check them out by clicking HERE. They have done some amazing work for films such as BAD LIEUTENANT, WALTZ WITH BASHIR, GOMORRAH, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, A PROPHET and MAN ON WIRE, among many others. David was one of the judges this year for the SXSW poster design competition and also spoke on a panel called Floating Heads are Dead: Why Traditional Posters Suck. As you can see, their MOON poster is anything but traditional. This is actually an unreleased version that All City made and were gracious enough to let us release.
We had to make one small change to it, though. The image used of Sam Rockwell was a photograph and therefore was not able to be screenprinted, so we asked our good friend and illustrator Martin Ansin to illustrate it. I remember seeing the poster in a theater lobby here in Austin and it making me do a double take. I distinctly remember saying “wow” outloud. With lobby’s full of giant pictures of actor’s faces, it’s great to actually see some design fighting back. We salute All City Media for being one of the leaders in bringing creativity back to poster design.
