Yesterday, we posted a series of classic Comic Book Covers re-imagined by UK graphic designer Chris Thornley, aka Raid71 that we thought were pretty sweet. If you are interested in Raid71′s work, he has also lent his artistic eye to a series of film posters which he remixed in his trademark simplistic style. Their simple design is both expressive, easier to understand, and yet still manages to keep the identity of the main movie. Check out some of the prints below:
Chris Thornley aka Raid71 , a graphic designer from the UK who has worked with Gola, NME, Levi, Threadless, MacUser, has redesigned a series of Amazing Adult Fantasy Comic covers for Warren Ellis’ cover challenge. This contest is art only. No pen-portraits, no photo-manipulation “art”. It’s up to the artist/designer what kind of company they’re at. What kind of comics they make. How they translate the comic cover. What era they’re in. Who they are, even.
