The style that inspired the latest Susperia poster is called Trash Polka, a Polish movement popularized in underground and international tattoo exhibits. I love his breakdown in styles and how design is an art of impact and visual storytelling. I think most of the people commentary forget this is a Vanity Fair video and not a Skillshare on poster design.
I can’t believe how upset everyone is getting over the guy marking the posters lol. They’re copies, people! Don’t worry you too can download a wonderful unmarked pdf of every poster and recover the original looks!
I only just started watching this video and I'm already annoyed by it. Not because he's tarnishing the posters, but because it serves so little purpose. It's just busywork for his hands when he could simply point at the things he's talking about, going on to draw boxes around them is pointless.
they need a "Best Graphic Design" category at the Academy Awards for movie posters, so much intricate detail goes into these movie posters and they need to be recognized. Saul Bass would've definitely won the award.
Then what am I a frozen chicken? Being humble makes you a better student. And no, you're definitely not the only person in here that had learned something. Sorry to disappoint you.
Why everybody is so upset about him drawing on the posters? My college professors used to do this to my designs(and every student design) all the time, its just a few posters not like wasting too much paper
Everyone's complaining that he's taking the designs so literally and talking about them so practically, but that's how actual design critique works. You talk about what everyone can see but through the lens of design. It's not like we see some magical dimension or something.
And the best poster? Again it's the the original. The modern version (of the poster and the movie) completely misses what'll attract people to a movie like this, the inner psychology and wonder of those who've chosen to take a role in life playing in front of 1000's. Big mistake to assume that the audience is so sophisticated that they won't care.
I was disappointed as well "here you see something so I'll circle around it". I'd have liked to hear stuff like why they used a specific font, why this collage style was popular, why they went for the minimalistic approach etc.
CAQ Vevo They are both examples of the poster being it’s own piece of art more than a typical visual advertisement. Visually they are fairly different but they both are unconventional.
@@TheBurritoMan1000 probably just referring to the fact that there was a specifically Polish style of poster design that was talked about in the video.
I really want to say that I LOVE the poster for Emmerich's GODZILLA. It's stylish and to the point. Also I remember when I was like 5 or something that this poster was in a McDonald's my parents took me a few times when this movie was released. I couldn't yet read or whatever but for some odd reason this image stuck with me
Christian Salgado Four official versions, but some argue that there’s six versions if you count the 2013 Bollywood version “Aashiqui” and the 1932 movie “What Price Hollywood?” of which the story is somewhat based on. It’s a timeless story.
Anyone else love him drawing on the posters? I love these videos! I need more of these! Although more focussed like the Marvel one. Maybe comparing similarities and differences of genre?
This is more of just describing what’s there. “Here you see purple. And this is a rectangle.” I was expecting more explanation than simply telling me what I already see.
He made multiple videos. I imagine he did them all on the same day. Likely had a bit of a wait time between videos and that there were reshoots if something went wrong, fumbled a word. You can see cuts even withing segments.He was probably tired.
it seems to be a trend with a lot of graphic designers. chip kidd makes me fall asleep every time we watch something about him in class but he’s brilliant
Octagons very reminiscent of the spiral - nah The running man very reminiscent of the walking group - nah The typeface very reminiscent of the 50s - nah

TIL. Thank you!

They're just tabloid prints, it's not that big of a deal 😝
Am i the only one just seeing people complaining about people complaining about the guy marking posters. Im not seeing the original complaints lmao

The sound of the felt tip dragging across, i assume is, not matte paper is irritating and distracting to hear :(
I love it! If it helps him guide his ability to teach, it'll in turn help us understand and keep us engaged!

these mini posters were printed for him to draw on, y'all are doing the most complaining about it
Many Karen's
So apparently I'm the only one who learned something and actually enjoyed it
Then what am I a frozen chicken? Being humble makes you a better student. And no, you're definitely not the only person in here that had learned something. Sorry to disappoint you.
@@weasley2o13 I agree. You are a frozen chicken.

@@weasley2o13 nope you're still a frozen chicken
You're not the only one, sorry to disappoint you, you're still special don't worry haha
I wish we still had hand-drawn movie posters
we do, just not for blockbusters
Aaaaalot of movie poster still are
@@trypstn yes we do ?
Except in most hand drawn animated movies.
It's still pretty much alive, you've been looking at the wrong place then.

Maybe they see him using the marker as defacing the poster itself. Weren’t they expecting him to just computer draw over a poster image online
@@gage7575people are brainless idiots who not even in the design business bunch of kids !!!
i thought this video was informative, i dunno what every one in the comments is talking about. yall are just haters
The suspiria remake poster is pretty good
I've never seen that Ocean's 11(2001) poster. I only ever see the one that was on the dvd box.
exactly what I was going to comment too. besides, he seems to be proud to have drawn that poster which we never saw lol
Same, kind of a bummer...the black and orange photo poster sucks.
I guess the studio company thought it wasn't commercial enough.
So... basically just copy Saul Bass and you’re on the right track 😂
Take a shot every time he says REMINISCENT
or AESTHETIC
0:56 those are hexagons, not octagons
Dan Es I was just going to comment this
ikr smh
You would hope an artist would know.😂
@@thehorsesnamewasfriday8695people forget sometimes stupid
Poster analysis is the best "series" here! Things that i knew intuitively, now will have background! It really inspires to study the poster history!!!
All subjective
2:27 thank you for helping me realise the direct inspiration for the 'Fiasco' RPG cover.
Everyone is complaining about people complaining about this guy drawing on the posters but I can’t find a single comment that’s complaining about it
This was such a cool series! More please!!
Vanity Fair: "Here's a marker. Go crazy on the posters, it will look smart"
being good ad designing posters ≠ being good at explaining posters
I felt like he was making things up on the fly and pulling them out of thin air a lot of the time.
this video is 100% what art school critiques sound like, it's so hard to explain what things are communicating visually
I can’t believe there has been 4 versions of A Star is Born
And the best poster? Again it's the the original.

He’s only reiterating the obvious. Not very insightful unfortunately, wish there was more critique and analysis than telling us what is right there
I was disappointed as well "here you see something so I'll circle around it". I'd have liked to hear stuff like why they used a specific font, why this collage style was popular, why they went for the minimalistic approach etc.
Benzaiten exactly. His overused the word ‘aesthetic’ as well. It’s not very introspective.
I was just thinking the same... surely he'll get to some more insightful comments soon. Nope.
After the marvel video I was hoping this would be better but nope
Thank you all you sensible people!
Omfg y'all need to get over the guy drawing on these posters. They're copies not the original or expensive versions
Did he do the new Suspiria poster? If so, mad props. Wanted to buy one for my dorm, it looks amazing
Him constantly drawing circles and lines on the beautiful posters gives me serious anxiety.
I think of it like a famous person signing a photo, it makes the image better :) I hope you feel better!
I like it-- its like asmr
They’re small enough that they’re probably digital printouts rather than originals. I hope.
get a grip.
Calm down it’s not like he’s drawing on the original prints
"...aesthetic......aesthetic.....here you have....aesthetic.....ok moving on....aesthetic...."
7:15 he's not gonna comment on the obvious innuendo?
When he popped out with the Polish posters I was shook.
yeah, how are those two similar in any way ?
CAQ Vevo They are both examples of the poster being it’s own piece of art more than a typical visual advertisement. Visually they are fairly different but they both are unconventional.
5:18 I think that's Joanna Lumley? The model on the left? Holy Crap!
It’s really cool to see the psychology behind posters
And I’m Polish so that’s cool, I didn’t know that
Karols Ksbb what does you being polish even have to do with poster psychology
@@TheBurritoMan1000 posters, psychology and polish all start with P!??
@@TheBurritoMan1000 probably just referring to the fact that there was a specifically Polish style of poster design that was talked about in the video.
Would love to see something like this but with album art maybe featuring different designers
In summary: "Aesthetic"
?
You are explaining the poster's story that I am running to watch that film !! I enjoyed listening, thank you!
This was a great video on some styles I didn’t know, shame to see so many people typing ‘I could’ve done that, it’s just shapes.’
I really want to say that I LOVE the poster for Emmerich's GODZILLA.
It's stylish and to the point.
Also I remember when I was like 5 or something that this poster was in a McDonald's my parents took me a few times when this movie was released. I couldn't yet read or whatever but for some odd reason this image stuck with me
Those are Katakana, not Kanji! heh
I never noticed that there are 4 versions of A Star is Born
where have u been ........
Christian Salgado
Four official versions, but some argue that there’s six versions if you count the 2013 Bollywood version “Aashiqui” and the 1932 movie “What Price Hollywood?” of which the story is somewhat based on. It’s a timeless story.
The actress of the first movie didn't have the same cultural impact as Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand so it ends up being forgotten
These breakdowns need to be a book!
THANK YOU JAMES!
To the last minute I was waiting for polish posters to be mentioned! :D
The background beat drives me nuts
Can you please lower the music next time? It's too loud and becomes annoying.
Anyone else love him drawing on the posters? I love these videos! I need more of these! Although more focussed like the Marvel one. Maybe comparing similarities and differences of genre?
1:23 good rap 🤣
People will actually complain about ANYTHING! It's hilarious to read.
One year later and all the comments are about the other comments of complaning James drawing on the posters
And I don't see any of those comments lol
love these vids and mad respect for the guy, but thats a hexagon, not an octagon!
This is reminiscent of-
Suggest a better word?
Take a shot everytime he says aesthetics
Oceans 11: Lets look at the original poster, so we decided to make the remake's poster based off a completely different movie poster.
Thank you for your tutorial, James Berta Soto's design is very amazing.
"exaggerated blood" on the suspiria poster? ok u watch suspiria and tell me it was exaggerated
Carlos Velazquez good point. Lol
yeah, exaggerated in regard to normal standards, not the movie itself. lol
Muito bom... This video is a design class!!!
This is more of just describing what’s there. “Here you see purple. And this is a rectangle.” I was expecting more explanation than simply telling me what I already see.
That's what posters are, why woukd you want him to talk about stuff that isn't there? Dumbass!
MrParkerman6 🙄 😆
Wow this video gives me inspiration to make some poster art now ♥️
Thank you very much.
I love that kind of information.
0:56 ......I am no expert....but OCTAgon= 8 sides......HEXAgon= 6 sides.........
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, in the second Godzilla Poster, those are not missiles, but are in fact HALO parachutists.
Polish school of poster is superior
The music is killing my ears
Helppp, @ 5:19 , who is the photographer of the left picture???
He has such an interesting job but he sounds so bored by it
He made multiple videos. I imagine he did them all on the same day. Likely had a bit of a wait time between videos and that there were reshoots if something went wrong, fumbled a word. You can see cuts even withing segments.He was probably tired.
Name of music 3:17?
More of this please
I love movie posters, but his voice made me very sleepy.
I actually did fall asleep lol
@@DA-bm2mj lol, good morning! hope you had a good nap
it seems to be a trend with a lot of graphic designers. chip kidd makes me fall asleep every time we watch something about him in class but he’s brilliant
@@poopycarrotdepend what they talking about and sound ...talk , slow and dull, and just blabbing of course u fall sleep
I like him!! Stop being so mean. He tried. >.
That 8 1/2 poster is gorgeous
I love this! Really gets you thinking
I'm doing a movie poster for a project and this very helpful thank you!
The new Suspiria poster is gorgeous
They are not missiles, they are men falling over Godzilla! Thanks! Great presentation!!!!
😂
I can't for the 2055 remake of A Star Is Born.
Those aren’t missiles on the Godzilla poster
Didn't really learn anything. Also it wasn't Kanji, Godzilla was written in Katakana.
He talks like a college professor. Saying a lot without actually saying a lot.
He shouldve looked at the shin godzilla poster smh
Fabulous examples of design and meaning
I really love the new Suspiria poster 😍
Summary:
Aesthetic
Why did he say missile like that? Missile? Nah its missile
Take a shot every time he says "aesthetic"
That Godzilla “fanart” was officially released. None of those are fan art
I could rationalize the creative choices better.
His voice is so similar to Julien Solomita's!
Loved it and so interesting
Can you do a video on how to say same things again and again without using a marker?
Take a shot every time he says aesthetic.
And 'reminiscent'
Still waiting for the Pulp Fiction poster review.....
What kind of marker is that? Please let me know if anyone knows about it.
Amit Paul it’s a metallic silver marker
i like the old ocean's 11 poster better.
I enjoyed this, and I will watch more when I see them, I find poster art fascinating.
Yea, is art ..better cuz it tides to movies etc ...tells a story is best ...
Octagons very reminiscent of the spiral - nah
The running man very reminiscent of the walking group - nah
The typeface very reminiscent of the 50s - nah
It’s katakana, not kanji.☺️
At first I thought it was Marc Maron
What kind of marker is he using...it goes on dark over white surfaces and white on dark?
I think it’s metallic silver so the light shows it over the dark
So let me get this straight....Saul Bass Saul Bass? And Saul Bass's Saul Saul Bass? And finally, Saul Bass.
I really love the remake of suspiria and the design itself
The use of negative space
literally what was the point of using that marker
Sam A no idea. Who could’ve just pointed.
Sometimes i forget how much of crybabies TH-cam comments were.
Octagons? Those are
hexagons...
Those are hexagons.
