“I Can Read Movies”
I’ll admit, I’m a little slow posting these (over a year too slow it would seem) but great designs are great designs, regardless of age, so I’m bringing them to light again.
Flickr user spacesick has created a number of quaint, retro-inspired book covers based on several famous films. The “I can read movies” flickr set features novelizations of Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and Batman Returns to name but a few, all of which use simplistic, recognisable elements from the films in question to illustrate the cover.
If you’ve seen the film then the cover illustrations should make sense to you. If not, just enjoy the cool, retro designs.
It’s well worth checking out spacesick’s blog too.
What do you think of these? Perhaps you know of similar projects? Or maybe you’ve created something in the same vein? Be sure to leave a comment and let me know!
