Drew Struzan is a name you probably don't know, but you certainly know his work as some of the most iconic pieces of pop culture: movie posters. His works include, Star Wars, Back to the Future, the Goonies, and 147 more! His work is able to cut down to the nitty gritty of the story and the film, while also evoking a sense of excitement and looking forward to what you're about to see happen on the screen. His posters have become the standard of movie posters now, which most poster designers base their work off of. Gone are the days of showing stills from the movie on the poster or publicity shots with paragraphs of texts explaining the plot. Now all you needed was a few central characters the title and some taglines, and thus Struzan helped usher in the new age of movie poster design.
