Poster Wednesday Reminiscing

Think of your favourite movie quote. Now imagine it as a poster hanging in your living room. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Gordon Reid - editor of Middle Boop Mag, did just that, he created bold type-focused posters depicting some legendary movie quotes. And he did it in a way that is interesting and colourful whilst incorporating subtle references in the graphics making it more than just another designed quote poster. A refreshingly bold way of remembering some of the best quotes from our favourite movies. His works can he seen on his website here.

His series kicked off on a tour in the US at the Bottleneck Gallery on August 8th making its way to the Hero Complex Gallery in LA on September 26th and last but not least to Toronto with date and location to be confirmed.

The prints can be bought over at Big Cartel at £40 for a random 3 print bundle.

My favourite one from those is the Jurassic Park 'Life finds a way', but in general my favourite movie quote is from the movie Fight Club (1999):

'The things you used to own, now they own you.'

Here is my quick poster interpretation of the quote.

This Behance portfolio also showcases some awesomely executed Fight Club typographic posters. 

It is interesting to see how Patrick Daley manipulates typography and space to bring across a more illustrated interpretation of the quotes.

Another worthy mention goes to this series by Jerod Gibson with various quotes or dialogues from the movies contained with recognisable and related objects, I vote for the Pulp Fiction Tarantino one as my favourite.

Now that I have found all my favourites online it is time to go on a quote hunt to find out what the rest of the team here at Apple Print & Creative has to say:
