Minimalist Movie Posters

So, this month's post (or fortnight's, or year's... reliability isn't exactly this blog's forte) is a bit of a departure from tradition. I stumbled across this pretty awesome minimalist Bollywood posters facebook page and ever since, I've had the idea in my head to try out a few myself. I tried to stick to Indian movies, but realised pretty quickly I haven't seen one since 'The Dirty Picture'. 


So here they are, in no particular order of relevance except that they're the ones I thought of first. Obviously my design skills need a bit of work (and how!) but overall I'm pretty pleased with how these bad boys turned out. I am already researching ways I can legally MARRY Adobe Illustrator.


Amar Akbar Anthony
One of my all time favourite oldies (Also one of the very few oldies I've even watched)

The Great Debaters
(I was heavily into Model UN's when I watched this the first time, perhaps that's why it always stuck)

Shawshank Redemption
Yes, I know the book perspective is totally wrong in this but in my defence, it was my first try and the
 'How to draw a book from scratch' Illustrator tutorial only had ONE perspective!

The Dirty Picture


Well that's all folks! Again, let me know what you think, I'm always looking out for public validation.Oh and if you're hungry for more (and better) minimalist magic, check out the minimalist poster fan page here

Monalisa's Smile

Embarrassingly, I think I must have been all of these people at some point except for the last one.
 Damn my instinct for politeness.

Enjoyed the comic? good!

The Anti-Social Experiment: Day 1


So I've de-activated my facebook account for real. And it's going to remain that way for one week. So if anybody missed me there, no worries, I'm alive and well!

I plan to spend one week without my facebook account. More on the why's later. But in a nutshell, for one week, until Saturday the 4th of June, I pledge to stay away from the temptations of facebook. I promise to turn away from posts, to reject invites, ignore comments and refrain from status updates so help me god. I will be blogging about my progress everyday for this week, sometimes in comics, sometimes writing.

Why am I doing this?

It's a bit of a long story and I'll fill you in later. Let's just say for now that I've become a bit of an addict and a detox is in order.

Also, I have a LOT of time on my hands.

EDIT: As you can see, that updating everyday of the week plan worked out REAL well.
