Good Design Thursdays - Entry #9

With the release of "Avengers: Infinity War" this weekend, let's take a look at some nice posters for a few of the many characters involved. First is a one-sheet from "Captain America: The First Avenger". Fully illustrated in the style of 1940's movie serial posters, it even features a call-back to Captain America Comics #1 , from 1941, with Cap punching Hitler (I included it here for reference).  Extremely hard to find, this poster was only given to members of the cast and crew from the film.  Next is a one-sheet from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The soundtrack's to both of the movies in this series are a big part of what made them so popular and this poster plays right into that.  With it's layout and black & white tone, it is a straight up homage to Punk and Rock bands from the 70's and 80's. Last is a one-sheet from "Doctor Strange".  Too often poster designs rely simply on a large image of the main character's face, this one takes that a step further in a fun and inventive way that shows us there is more to him than meets the eye.
