Up-and-coming artists everywhere are making fan movie posters to show off their skills, and though there are plenty to be found on the Internet, none are quite like the work of Enzo Lo Re. To begin, rather than making film posters for current releases, Re has instead crafted promos honoring the filmography of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. Among the titles featured are ‘North by Northwest,’ ‘Rear Window,’ ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much,’ ‘Vertigo,’ ‘The Birds’ and ‘Psycho.’ Secondly, his posters use cryptic graphics that denote the plots of each film. Some of the images make much more sense once you’re well acquainted with the titles, adding to the enjoyment of each poster.
If Enzo Lo Re continues to churn out clever work like this, you can expect the Milano, Italy-based artist to get some fame of his own in the near future.
