Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds is simply the word written with a murder of crows.
If produced retrospectively, however, the former can be stripped away, and the film encapsulated by a single theme or emblem from it.
That’s what Sydney-based designer Peter Majarich has been doing ever day for more than half a year now, with his series ‘A Movie Poster A Day’.
Film posters are used to get information and tone across pre-release, then collected by cinephiles years after for their artfulness, but unfortunately one use often tends to negate the other.
