The Man Who Illustrated Our Entire Childhood: A Tribute to the Brilliant Drew Struzan
This listicle features some the most timeless and iconic movie posters in movie history, and they were all illustrated by one man - Drew Struzan. Now, I'll be honest with you, I never actually given any real thought as to who actually made all these movie posters, simply because I took them for granted. It made sense that awesome movies have awesome posters. I guess I just figured that the studios reach out to several different artists and end up picking the best one and that there was an agreed upon "look" for the Blockbuster Poster.
Little did I know that there was actually one brilliant artist behind all of these posters and that he single handedly defined the look of the blockbuster Poster. Star Wars, The Goonies, Back to the Future, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, E.T - all of these, and so many more were designed and illustrated by Drew Struzan. So let's take a moment to appreciate this brilliant artist
