London Film Festival







I discovered these beautiful poster designs from the British Film Institute's archives, designed for the annual London Film Festival. The festival has run since 1957 to the present date, and some of the posters are really interesting. Although some of the posters are somewhat aesthetically garish, a few really caught my eye - especially the earlier dated posters from the archive. It is a shame that many of the more recent posters lack the simplicity that many of the older ones achieve successfully. It has to be said that, when it comes to design, often less is more.

This year's festival will be held in London from the 13th until the 28th of October, for more info click here.
