We live in the age of the ironic mash-up, and while it can get exhausting and uninspired at times, there are twinkling lights of creativity blinking from various upper-floor windows in the town called Internet. Vide this series of posters for classic films done in B-film, drive-in and Grindhouse style. I know what you are thinking, “Didn’t we go through that Grindhouse poster phase about 3-4 years ago with that Tarantino/Rodriguez double-bill thingy?” Rest assured, these posters are not about fold lines reproduced in Photoshop, but about particular design aesthetics and exclamation point laden taglines that have been used since the 1940s to advertise B-Product, but wonderfully subverting for Oscar Winners and Dramas that most film fans are familiar with. See if you can guess the particular design homage applied to each one after the link.
