A series of Oscar posters are released by stock photography company Shutterstock as part of its Oscar Pop! challenge.
This is a playful and imaginative annual occurrence, where the firm's designers pick their favorite award show nominee and create a poster that draws stylistic inspiration from the pop art movement. Moreover, the fun endeavor serves as an example of how "downright useful the Shutterstock [resource] collection is."
The 2019 Oscar posters include an electric take on 'Black Panther' by Jac Castrillo, an alluring design for 'BlacKkKlansman' by Brenda Luu, a fun-poking presentation of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Alice Lee, a Roy Lichtenstein-inspired 'The Favourite' by Flo Lau, a funky appearance for the 'Green Book' by Rose-Ann Reynolds, a comic-inspired 'Roma' by JC Moreno, a collage for 'A Star is Born' by Thanh Nguyen, and a caricature-incorporating Oscar poster for 'Vice' by Jennifer Forrest.
