One of my favorite movies is The Breakfast Club, and this poster captures one of the prominent characters in an effective way, and also includes the logo of the movie, as well as the title. The contrasting colors of the blue and the checkerboard red pushes the classic pose of Judd Nelson to the forward, as the deep red is a warm color, against the cool blue background. The iconic fist pump during the ending scene of TBC to “Don’t You Forget About Me” is one of the most well known endings in cinematic history, so this poster effectively captures the entire theme of the movie – creating new friendships from different people that you never thought you could. Bender is the glue that keeps the club together, so it is only right to have him front and center. The checkerboard is his shirt, one of the other symbols of the movie. Overall, beautiful representation of the movie in a minimalist way.
I like this poster. The simplicity, colors chosen and pattern on his coat are successful and work well in unison. The only thing I do not like is that the text at the bottom of the poster is alittle hard to read, after your eyes trail away from the plaid coat. I feel the type could be in bold or alittle larger so it’s easier to read. The blue background and its two toned effect is very eye catchy too. Good poster choice.
I like this poster as well. I like the thought that they play on the words. The wordmark says that this is an elegant breakfast club…Oh my I think I dropped my monocle! Though very much like the movie, it showed that times are changing and moods are now different. Now excuse me as I prepared this boiled goose.
