Warsaw, Poland-based graphic designer Michal Krasnopolski challenged himself to create “very modernist, minimalist poster series” of existing movies.
Based on the age-old “less is more” adage, he redesigned movie posters using a simple grid—a circle and two diagonals inscribed in the square (as seen below).
To his surprise “the possibilities [were] theoretically unlimited”—as he could create some of the most pared down versions of movie posters for ‘Star Wars’, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Superman’, to name a few.
