Capturing the essence of iconic films in their vehicles, designer Jesús Prudencio created a series of beautifully illustrated movie posters in his 'Cars and Films' series. Prudencio's posters feature automobiles that were instrumental in classic films. Along with slick designs is well-paired typography to complete the movie posters. The collection examines a variety of movies with the same static side shot of a car and minimalist fonts.
Cars and Films places a spotlight on instantly recognizable automobiles. Prudencio included some of the most well known cars such as the DeLorean from Back to the Future and the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters. Other iconic vehicles such as Little Miss Sunshine's Volkswagon bus and Mr. Bean's Leyland Mini were also thrown into the mix.
