One sheet, movie poster
"Style D" theatrical poster for the original Star Wars (retroactively titled Episode IV: A New Hope), first released for the movie's 1978 summer re-release.
Poster Details
Artist: It was painted by renowned movie poster artist Drew Struzan and Charles White III. Struzan reportedly focused on the character faces while White worked on other elements of the piece.
Concept: Often called the "Circus Style" poster, its design features a unique "beaten-up" aesthetic that makes the central image appear as if it is a poster peeling away from a wooden fence.
Legacy: This particular design is famously known as George Lucas's favorite Star Wars poster, with the original artwork reportedly hanging in his home. |
