What is going on with the lack of creativity in most movie posters and blu-ray/dvd covers? Movie posters and home video covers seemed to be special back in the day. But nowadays, they are so ridiculously boring and uncreative. There are some companies that understand that making a very artistic, creative home video cover can sell movies based on that fact alone. For example, Criterion and Shout! Factory totally understand this concept. And then there are other companies the just churn out these dull, lifeless safe posters/covers. I don't get it. Is hiring an artist really that more expensive than hiring a graphic designer? A bad movie can be seen more likely all because it has a nice-looking poster. I haven't seen Hobo with a Shotgun yet, but I want to see it only because of the cool-looking poster. CREATIVE POSTERS/COVERS: [Show spoiler] BORING,GENERIC POSTERS/COVERS: [Show spoiler] Can anyone explain what's going on with the lack of creativity?
