Contextual Portfolio
Pictogram
Pictogram movie poster by Viktor Hertz






'I'm quite new to this movie poster thing, and I'm trying to get better all the time. There are so many talented people doing this out there, but I hope I can contribute somewhat to this genre.' 

These digital grey and black movie posters are by Viktor Hertz. Viktor Hertz did a project based on his two biggest interests and he combined them together. In his movie posters he included in a few pictograms that portray the film theme of the movie. I think its funny how our memory works, anything can bring back memories e.g smell, a word and even a symbol like pictograms. This is what these posters are meant to do, they are making us recall each movie. Many of these pictograms are like common sense. I like the soft grunge texture the poster takes, my favorite one is the Taxi Driver.
