To close out their first year, the Poster Boys reflect on theatrical film poster design in 2015, sharing some of the pieces that caught their eye throughout the year and discussing the industry’s recent tropes and trends. They also take a break to talk to the artists behind two of their favorite posters of the year (Anna Katrina Bak for Queen of Earth, and Erik Buckham for The Assassin) before wrapping up with a look back on the process behind some of their own posters that they tackled in 2015.
