And the Oscar for Best Poster Design goes to....

It's a definite trend. Minimalist movie posters are in high internet fashion. No complaints here, I applaud the design aesthetic and the subtle movie allusions.

Now assuming these are just-for-fun passion projects— Who are these people who have time to design these?

Well, I dont know who they are but I seem to have found their clubhouse.

It's Society6. And according to their facebook page,

"The artwork on Society6 is created by thousands of artists from around the world.... Society6 empowers artists to make their artwork immediately available for sale as a variety of products, without giving up control of their rights."

I stumbled upon the society earlier today and I haven't been able to find my way out! So enter with caution, do not proceed unless you have hours to lose!
