Minimalist movie posters: balloon, lighthouse and glasses

Film posters — a single red balloon drifting high above a small grey skyline, its string curling loose below it, under the invented title "THE LONG WAY UP" set large, a cut-paper poster illustration in the Saul Bass manner, torn-edged flat shapes and a hand-cut look

The minimalist poster for a film that does not exist: a red balloon over a city, a lighthouse beam, a pair of glasses in the rain — one object on a color field. These nine cross those three subjects with a cut-paper collage look, a Polish-school illustrative style and a clean Criterion-flat treatment, an invented title set large above.

Frequently asked questions

Can the poster use a title I choose?
Yes — type the title in the direction field and it is set exactly, large, in the poster's credits block.
What size do these print at?
Each poster is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
Is this a poster for a real movie?
No — the title, credits and image are invented for the print, in the minimalist movie-poster register, not artwork for an existing film.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
