WEEK 71: Artists/ Non-artists design a Criterion cover for a non Criterion film.

Fygar · 08-10-2009, 10:57 AM

For those who don't know the Criterion collection is a DVD/ Blu Ray distribution company that primarily sells art house/ foreign films that they deem important. They're meticulous when it comes to film preservation and the quality of their extras. They're also known for the covers to these films, because more often than not they're pretty fantastic. I thought it'd be neat to see you guys take a stab at their design aesthetic, but with movies not in their collection (Ghost Busters would be great...)

Here's a few of their covers.

Weeks 1-70 in the spoiler section.

interesting concept. This will take some thought. I'm kind of torn between G.I.Joe and Armageddon.

I'm going to have to think about this one.

Great idea, Fygar! Get some graphic design action goin' in here.

Just in case anyone wants it, I went ahead and made a generic CC bar:

Except they've redesigned/removed that logo like two years ago. Average release looks like this now

also, here's the GAF Collection, where they created box-art for video games ala Criterion. Most of it is graphic design diarrhea but this one is sublime, IMO
