Back to Work

Electronic Sketchbook might be slightly on halt in the coming days since I will be writing up some new Units - back to work! Would love to post some student work here in the coming months as I'm planning some exciting projects..
Other contributors to E.S will hopefully post something in their own time although they will also be busy getting ready for one more year of graphics/fine arts.


In the meantime, have a look at these 16 Classic Movie Posters


"Pumping Iron is a 1977 documentary film about the run-up to the 1975 Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition. The film focuses on Arnold Schwarzenegger and his competitors, Lou Ferrigno and Franco Columbu. The documentary was co-directed by Robert Fiore and George Butler. It was based on the book of the same name by Charles Gaines and George Butler (Simon and Schuster, 1974)."

    Interesting - so what kind of exciting projects??

    This post reminded me of the old 007 film posters that back then were actually paintings - wonderful artwork (even though it was commercial). Here are some links:

    And of course I couldn't avoid the great Bruce Lee films, one of which:

    Yes indeed, would have liked to tackle this as a unit title but was not given a suitable unit!

    Projects involving units of course ! Still brainstorming titles though, are you sticking with Graphics?

    yeah since the fine art that teach at school isn't the type of art that interests me most. Graphics is cool anyways. I will have to tackle fine art on my own.

    "16 Classic Movie Posters You’ve Probably Never Seen" isn't a very good title for that article on ItThing.com.

    I mean, Rebel Without a Cause? Dr. No? Paradise Canyon? Attack of the 50ft Woman?

    STAR WARS?

    However, there's an excellent series of books called "Film Posters of the XX's: The Essential Movies of the Decade" by Tony Nourmand & Graham Marsh. Probably 5 books in all - a book for each decade, the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

    They're cheap, and locally available. I still have to purchase the 80s one. The print quality ain't bad either.
