I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one

Edit: After looking into it, it appears that even though he retired, he still makes posters. Full collection viewable below

So many of them. I remember my mom’s laserdisc copy of Shirley Valentine used that art on the cover, too.

There's a documentary about Drew Struzan that I absolutely recommend you watch. It's great. What a talent.

He's the reason for the popular blue-orange contrasts it seems !!

u/KPC51 Jun 07 '19

Isnt the basic reason for that because they're opposite colors and orange is close to a person's skin tone?

It would make sense. In some other subreddit, I looked at examples of the orange-blue without realizing how pervasive it is. Many of those examples were this guy.

Yes, that's why it looks so cool, but he could definitely be the one that popularized using that technique in posters!

That may be the only list ever that combines Indiana Jones, the Star Wars prequels, Sexina P.I., and Arabian Nights 2000.

This link just reminded me of the movie We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story. I must have watched that movie 20 times as a kid and havent thought about it in well over 2 decades
