Moss sells his posters through Mondo, the movie poster web store and gallery, and his prints can sell out within seconds. It’s about the thought behind it, what are you trying to communicate, and a lot of those posters don’t really communicate anything, and it’s just a picture of something from a movie.” “A lot of the minimalist posters completely ignore the idea, they just focus on the style, and the style is completely the least important part of it. His clever use of negative space and his attention to detail gives a more sophisticated focus to his core idea, something that most posters fail to achieve. “It’s because you’re using it to get across a core idea.” It’s not that difficult to see how Olly achieved his status within the community. “There’s a reason you do minimalism,” said Olly.

Using his experience creating shirt designs for Threadless, Olly’s minimalist style was transferred to his movie poster design career. Without these constraints, Olly was able to make his movie poster the way he envisioned it. People seem to really dig it, so now I’m able to make a career out of it.” “I just made things based on what I was really interested in, and being a massive nerd, I was really interested in films and video games. So that kind of limits what you can do in terms of composition.” If you have Sean Penn’s face on the poster, it needs to be the same size as, I don’t know, Don Cheadle’s or something. Olly added further the problem with a committee handling the design decision process, something we could all relate to. They’ve got to see like every single variation of a theme, every single possible iteration of an idea, and it eventually ends up being floating heads because that is what will get approved.” And no one will ever pick one idea and just run with it. “It’s always really last-minute, you have to get it through so many levels of approval, and the culture is that you are encouraged to submit a book of like fifty ideas. In an interview with iO9, Olly commented on the state of official movie posters in our time, stating that it is ridiculous. Today, Olly Moss is a legend of the movie poster design world, with designs that could sell for thousands of dollars on Ebay. He didn’t have a traditional design training.

Some poster enjoyed iconic status such as Jaws, Silence of the Lambs, and Scarface. Over the years, the movie poster has evolved to become a part of pop culture. They were printed in cheap paper, however, and were not meant to be collected or preserved. With the marketing value that these posters brought to ticket sales, it became a standard within the film industry.

The first movie poster was created by French painter and lithographer Jules Cheret for the 1890 short film called “ Projections Artistiques”. Featuring scenes taken from the movie or the artists who will star in crucial roles, film posters are designed with commercial intent, that is, to attract movie goers to check the film.
