Movie Poster Clichés – Rip and Reveal

by Lallen | Jun 26, 2020

Movie posters need to create a quick impression upon the viewing public. So impact-full and emotional imagery is key to a successful poster. Explosions, fire and plenty of gore are often used to give a quick and powerful message about the film. Yes, destruction can be key and one of the common ways of doing that is by ripping through the poster. From razor sharp claws cutting through the image, to tares revealing an extra image underneath, ripping can be a clever design choice. Here are a selection of posters that Rip and Reveal.
