I vote for Universal to contract the poster artwork out to our very own 11th Hour:

I think it's a brilliant idea. I love the old movie posters. There was always some cheesy tag line that sprawled across the corner. They had a muted background that faded around the pictures. Ooh, at the bottom in bold print should be "technicolor". Anyone want to try one?

btw 11thHour is awesome. The posters striking. The talent unquestionable. One of my favorite links.

I just saved a poster to the Blue Sun Room that kind of goes along with this thread:

I remembered that artwork, and it was one of the things that got me to thinking about it. Isn't something hand-drawn like that so much more impressive than a few photographs slapped together in Photoshop?

Now, I love Adobe Photoshop. . .I use it for my artwork almost every day. But it's only a tool, and like any tool, it's only as good as the people who use it. If someone only uses it as a shortcut, it takes away something. Just because it's faster to do a poster that way doesn't mean it's better to do it that way.

I like what Tiger did here:

This is perfectly in the style of those old 50's B-movie posters. Of course we all know that 'Serenity' will be A-movie all the way, but I just love those old hand-drawn posters!

I want a poster in the style of Zoë Mozert, myself. Sort of like her rendition of Jane Russell in The Outlaw.

I hope to hell that's not true. Literally HALF the charm of this show is the jerkwater locations and work they do! At least in my opinion. I will be most displeased if they lose that "frontier" aspect of the show. It might even make me cry... ;P
