Believe it or not, erotica posters were once designed to be cool and artsy.
Back in the late 20th century, when the world of adult skin flicks was booming and openly embraced, the quality of the design work that went into the film posters, which were splashed unabashedly across major theaters, was very respectable.
These aesthetic representations of diverse erotic plots were a form of storytelling in themselves. With the skilled use of color, wit and creativity, these posters struck a balance between being raunchy and being artistic, lending an alternative, first-impression dimension to the characters through bright, elaborate costumes, varied facial expressions and cheeky, yet tasteful designs.
Take a look at some of these vintage posters that would probably look great on your walls.
