I may or may not have been inspired to look for movie poster designs by a certain movie that will be showing tonight at midnight. Regardless, I stumbled upon these excellent minimalist movie posters by Pedro Vidotto, a graphic designer and art director in Brazil (the images at his site are currently down).

There has been quite the trend in simplified fan poster design lately, but I think these are quite well done (see some of our other favorites at the end of this entry). Pedro created an icon and chose a suitable color for each film and kept it simple, usually only listing the title and director.

I think my favorite might be the Titanic poster? Any favorites out there?
