Graphic designer gives film posters a pleasing, minimalist overhaul
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds is simply the word written with a murder of crows. Moneyball is a baseball with dollar sign seems. Memento is written backwards.
Here’s a handful of our favourites, though they’re amazingly consistent given their prolificness:
Majorca’s company, Craft and Graft, are selling prints of some of his best designs.
