If the seven blind men from the famous parable were not feeling the elephant, but the shark, how would they describe the predator? Smooth, strong scales, rows of sharp teeth, a hard fin on the back … Every potential answer is a ready-made concept for a minimalistic poster. Christopher Wilson, a 33-year-old designer from Kansas City who also illustrated the Discovery Channel campaign, went in part that way.

And minimalistic posters remind viewers to turn on the TV in time to see who is the owner of the sea (or rather, the mistress), and along the way to admire other inhabitants of the sea depths.

One object movie: a series of minimalist posters for famous movies
