Selling of films through posters makes a difference between success and failure . . The goal of poster art is to crystallize a film into a simple image—to catch a moment.

TOM JUNG interview with the designer, 1987

I don’t know what it is that first causes a person to become interested in a film—whether it’s the cast, or whether it’s the title, or whether it’s that first image. I believe it is a combination of all of these. That’s the creative part of poster work—that image and what it does and how it affects an audience.
