Well that was awkward, announcing La La Land as best picture instead of Moonlight. They finally got it all sorted but did any other designers out there think that maybe the layout of the text was a disaster waiting to happen?

Surely the biggest things on the card should have been the "Category" and the "Winner"? The category is the last thing in tiny script at the bottom. It should have read "Category: Best Picture" and "Winner: Moonlight". Everything else is secondary.

Proof that good typography matters.

Classy poster for the new Wolverine movie

I'm liking the newly released poster for the upcoming wolverine move. Firstly it is illustrated which is a much needed departure from the usual Photoshopped two heads. Hopefully this heralds a return to the glory days when Drew Struzan ruled the movie poster biz?

But also the design and typography evokes an older time and the posters of the old spaghetti westerns. Fitting perhaps as this outing takes its cue from the old man Logan comics which, although set in the future, had a wild west feel to them.
