A strong trend for movie posters we've seen in the last months is hand drawn posters. Mostly used for indie movies, it's a really fresh kind of design, and I'm really loving it.

Some of the greatest movies I've seen in the past 6 months had hand drawn posters and were indie... so I'll guess the I'm probably a sucker for that kinda movie anyways. Here is a little list of some of these great posters, most of them found at the Internet Movie Poster Awards.

Better view.

I like most of them, especially the ones with a fully drawn background are the best :)

It's clearly a trend. More and more movies seem to be picking the kind of generic scratchy marker-drawn style.

Probably since most new comedies have been off-beat. The only really somewhat typical one i can think of coming out in the near future is Tropic Thunder.
