30 Extremely Creative Independent and Low Budget Movie Posters
Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by bmackler in Inspiration, Photoshop
A great source of design inspiration and creative trend can be found in movie posters. On a single sheet of paper a poster has the ability to describe and portray the entire theme and thrust of a movie instantly drawing interest and creating a buzz. Today movie posters are an essential part of popular culture and as a result designs are becoming more exciting and interesting.
While we expect (but to our disappointment, don’t always receive) great poster designs from the major studios with their massive advertising budgets, some of the best and most creative movie poster art can be found in the arena of lower budget and independent films.
Today, lets take a look at these 30 creative and inspiring independent and low budget movie posters that pack a real punch. Like the genre itself, these posters are imaginative and well thought out, emphasizing strong color, typography and illustration.

Nice bunch, though I hadn’t seen the Hurt Locker poster above previously. Didn’t they use a different one from the scene where he pulls up the star pattern of wires on the US poster?

@David Neff, Thank you. I believe that there were several posters that ran with this movie, they were all nice, but this one was my favorite. I think that the one you describe was the “official” one though
