Re: Book Cover vs. Movie Poster

Another interesting thing about the book vs. movie poster is the fact that a movie poster can actually be done well in another country's release, but then for some unknown reason, when it comes to America, they totally shitte on it. Case in point, Trainspotting.

Top is the British movie poster. Awesome in color choice, layout is horizontal instead of vertical. The feature of the character names vs the actors name... so, pretty great. (If you want to read more about the design choices go here and see #8)

Then bottom left is American. WTF? Watch how the sorta same concept is done horribly.

Bottom right is a current book cover. Meh.
