The longtime Criterion collaborator behind our covers for JAPÓN, HOUSE, and MODERN TIMES combines his love for film and design in his vividly colorful artwork.
I thought it was going to be about the singer but it turns out it was someone much much better. Thanks Criterion! and don't forget. Please have your service be available in the middle east.
I did a serious Maltese Falcon poster, after bring completely dismayed over all the U.S. posters. A couple foreign jobs are ok. I projected the film and then selected frame areas to photograph, then built a 27x41 poster, also including all the national screen service text and blue cross guides that you can see on othet posters from the era. I bought a Maltese repro bird, and gave it dramatic lighting with beams coming off it leading to the various images I chose to surround it. But faces above this central motif looked down to it, and faces below looked up to it. I added an author graphic with a typewriter in the bird's shadow. Fortunately I worked at a photo lab, so printing this 300 d.p.i poster cost me nothing. Except the damn framing.
Great work! If you love inspiration some time ago I bought Polish Poster Book (huge, loaded with treasures) " "OTO SZTUKA POLSKIEGO PLAKATU" BY DOROTA-FOLGA JANUSZEWSKA. I KNOW IT WAS AN ENGLISH VERSION AS WELL. GOOD LUCK , LOVE AGATA

Hausu poster hijacked my eyes years ago. That effective simplicity. So there is the man itself! Fine artist.

That Hausu poster is iconic in and of itself
Nice one, enjoyed this - thanks for sharing

This was honestly quite beautiful. The Japon cover was really great!

Great to see who's responsible for these beautiful covers. Is it possible to buy some of them as prints or posters?
I want to know exactly this. Can you message me if you get any answer please ?

I just bought that Revolucion Cuban Poster Art book based on the few images I saw of it in this video.
poster designing is definetly fun.
Thanks that was fascinating

Why does this dude remind me of Chuck Close circa early 1970s?
It was inspiring thank you
Beautiful
Lots of love to you
Hmm, any tips on where to pick up Sam's posters? Can't really find anything on Ebay...
Very cool.
love this series and Sam Smith's work - I do wish they had a mini-doc on the legendary mondo AD Jay Shaw
This is absolutely wicked.
5:08 that is such a dope poster

Digital makes it so easy now

0:21 world on a wire poster
Lmao I thought it was the singer xD
Early work looks a bit like Leslie Herman’s work
How long does it takes? It never stops.
He must be a good artist. To pull off a string of beads like that!! My chin hit the floor. Not joking.
What an absolute dude
Enjoyable.
I thot im delusional when i saw this on notifications. Madness luv lit rally madness

House just cursed me..
Sam's Myth *
@5:04 Ummmmm, does that mean The Master is coming to Criterion?!
I don't think he just does work for Criterion. Looks like he gets commissioned to do work for theaters, festivals, etc. It also seems to be a hobby.
clean your iMac screen
So you don’t have to be able to draw to be a good artist! Sweet
your not the big gay singer
This 'threadless' aesthetic is getting old, throw all of this to 2006 where it belongs.
Jmho dude is not a good artist
What's it like being blind?
This man is uncomfortable to look at
I see crappy art everywhere in this video.
